The Prime Minister and the government must act to formulate a broad national plan in the field of AI
State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman opened today, Sunday (1.12.24), the TOP SUMMIT of "People and Computers" and related to the report on Israel's preparedness for the age of AI, which was published recently.
According to him, "Hi-tech is Israel's engine of growth. About six years after the Prime Minister's decision and despite us being at the height of an AI revolution, the Israeli government is presently falling behind. The absence of a broad and budgeted government plan and close monitoring of its realization fall within the definition of significant defects.

A growth-based budget is mandatory even against the background of the drop in the international financial rankings. The Prime Minister and the government must act to formulate a broad national plan in the field of AI.
There is a global race in the field of AI – if Israel is not there, I am concerned about the implications that are liable to affect the main engine of the State of Israel. We must not remain behind".
