Israel's National Artificial Intelligence Program
About The Institute
The United States, European countries and also countries in the Middle East, such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, are implementing a regulated national strategy in the field of artificial intelligence. On the other end, the State of Israel has been in recent years on a downward trend in the world ranking in its activity and investment in the field of artificial intelligence. This trend, if it continues, may also harm Israel’s leading position in other areas of technological activity.
The Institute is a non-profit institution whose activities are partnered by leading factors in the field, from industry, academy and state authorities. Our goal is to establish an administration that will close the gaps that have already been created, build the future of the State of Israel through artificial intelligence and make it a world leader in the field, just like in cyber.

Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly and dramatically changing the world
Much has been said about the effects of artificial intelligence and the requirement to prepare and integrate into the major changes it generates in many areas such as cyber, health, education and finance. This is a revolution that will affect every aspect of our lives, therefore the task we have taken upon ourselves is to promote and nurture the emergence and implementation of groundbreaking solutions in the fields of artificial intelligence in Israel.
Through strategic collaboration with leading international corporations and with Ben-Gurion University, we offer a unique platform that drives cutting-edge innovation. Our project provides a wide range of resources, software and visionary guidance with the aim of turning ambitious ideas into durable and efficient technological reality.
