The main points of the national program for artificial intelligence were presented for the first time yesterday (Monday, July 18) at a conference held in Tel Aviv. The conference was held in the capacity of the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Orit Farkash HaCohen, and took place within the SynergAI community established by the Ministry to help solve national challenges through research and academic knowledge. The CEO of the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Hila Hadad Hamelnik, and the CEO of the Innovation Authority, Dror Bin, participated in the conference. In addition, the conference was attended by representatives of government ministries and regulatory bodies alongside representatives from academia and industry including: President and CEO of "Mobilai", Prof. Amnon Shashua; Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Tom Dan; Director of the National Infrastructure Program on Artificial Intelligence, Ziv Katzir; Chief Scientist of Microsoft Israel, Dr. Tomer Simon; The director of the development center of Google Israel, Prof. Yossi Matias and more.
The National Plan for Artificial Intelligence was formulated in light of the strategic importance of promoting the fields of artificial intelligence and data science for the continued growth of the economy, for increasing productivity and streamlining the public system in particular, and further to Government Resolution 212 which stated that the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Orit Parkash HaCohen, will lead the government's policy on intelligence issues the artificial The plan was drawn up by an inter-ministerial team led by the Director General of the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Hila Hadad Hamelnik, together with all the stakeholders in the government and outside, including: the Innovation Authority, the National Digital System and the Telam Forum (in which members and Mafat, the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, the Innovation Authority and the Ministry of Finance), and it adopted a significant part of the recommendations of two previous committees. In formulating the plan, the KPMG strategic consulting group Somech Chaikin took part. Among the goals of the program: promoting research, human capital and infrastructure to ensure the technological leadership of the State of Israel; Creating a leap forward in the innovation industry in Israel; and implementing the use of artificial intelligence in the government to improve service in the public sector.
The program was based, among other things, on the work of committees headed by Dr. Orna Berry Another committee headed by Prof. Yitzhak Ben Israel and Dr. Avitar Matanya, which examined various aspects of artificial intelligence applications and their usefulness to the Israeli economy.
The new national plan, amounting to about NIS 2 billion, outlines the national policy for artificial intelligence in the coming years. The program relies on international standards and norms in the fields of ethics and regulation and will enable the establishment of tools that will enable leadership of the Israeli AI industry alongside accelerating the assimilation of AI in the government and the economy through national projects and adapted ventures.
Among the main principles of the program: the implementation of AI in the government to improve service in the public sector, the promotion of joint ventures between the government and industry, the creation of open "information assets" in a way that will create a leap forward in the innovation industry in Israel, a significant increase in the number of researchers in academia in the fields of data science and artificial intelligence, the establishment of technological infrastructures, Promotion of research knowledge, access to information and data bases for research and development needs in coordination with other authorities and more.
The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Orit Parkash HaCohen: "Artificial intelligence is a critical technology for the leadership of the Israeli high-tech industry in the world. Israel is currently behind in the global race - and it received low marks in some of the international indices of artificial intelligence - among other things in the context of national strategy, and government budget investment."
"In recent months, we have acted in a number of ways: we have written and launched the national program for artificial intelligence, the result of very significant work by a team led by my ministry. The national program will promote research, human capital and infrastructure, to ensure the technological leadership of the State of Israel and will be a leap forward in the innovation industry in Israel through artificial intelligence. As part of it, we will also lead the implementation of the use of AI tools in the government to improve the public sector in Israel."
Guide for regulators in the field of artificial intelligence
"We are writing the regulation that enables artificial intelligence and risk management tools. This is a comprehensive and significant headquarters work in order to promote Israel in this field as well - to align with the world, and to encourage responsible innovation.. In addition, I joined as a member of the GPAI forum - an organization of ministers that deals with the regulation of artificial intelligence, and this is the first time that Israel is a member of this organization. The National Program for Artificial Intelligence will promote research, human capital and infrastructure, to ensure the technological leadership of the State of Israel and will be a leap forward in the innovation industry in Israel through artificial intelligence. We will lead the implementation of the use of AI tools in the government to improve the public sector in Israel."
The CEO of the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology, Hila Hadad Hamelnik: "Leading in artificial intelligence is leading in all other high-tech fields. As soon as I took office, Minister Orit Parkash HaCohen defined this issue as the main task for her to promote. The national plan will create a leap forward that will help the high-tech industry realize capabilities in artificial intelligence and will create another leap forward in this field. The national projects component will allow us to reduce existing gaps and ensure that the government also knows how to develop the field within itself - and thus give back to the industry as well. Because a regulator who knows how to develop his field is more committed and creative."
CEO of the Innovation Authority, Dror Bin: "Continuation of global leadership and growth of the Israeli high-tech industry is not guaranteed. The rate of development of the latest technologies is accelerating and every country that wants to live engraves the issue of technological innovation on its flag. In order for us to continue to enjoy our position in the world and the decisive contribution that the innovation industry has on the Israeli economy in the future as well, we must invest in infrastructure for breakthrough technologies. Investing in artificial intelligence infrastructure is a condition for maintaining Israel's leading position in international competition. Artificial intelligence is a field that fundamentally changes the way many areas of life operate: health, agriculture, transportation, education, and more. Working in an inter-ministerial partnership guarantees a complete product and includes all areas of activity. I believe that this program will affect Israeli hi-tech and where Israel will be in terms of artificial intelligence for decades to come."
The national program for artificial intelligence will provide an answer to the assimilation of AI in the government through a series of national projects in the various government ministries. In this way, there will be an improvement and streamlining of the service of the public sector which will streamline the lives of the citizens. In addition, this move will serve as an engine for implementing AI tools in many areas of the economy. The program will promote national projects to implement artificial intelligence in government ministries and improve public service, promote guidance and training in the field in government ministries, promote a pool of experts for use by the ministries, and promote knowledge sharing between the government, academia and industry.
Open information assets
The program will also provide a response to the promotion of the artificial intelligence industry and the integration of AI tools in the innovation industry through the promotion of adapted projects of the industry and the government, the creation of open "information assets" as a catalyst for innovation and investment in research and infrastructural development such as autonomous tools, automation and content production.
In order to promote the development of human capital, the establishment of technological infrastructures and the promotion of research knowledge as the factors that form the basis for ensuring Israel's technological leadership in the field of artificial intelligence, the new program will operate on a variety of levels. The program will work to make information accessible to researchers and developers, to increase research outputs in the field of AI, to promote the use of AI tools in basic and applied research, to double the number of researchers in the academy, to increase the number of postgraduate students, to increase the scope of human capital for industry, to establish a supercomputer infrastructure in Israel, to create and access of natural language processing (NLP) tools in Hebrew and Arabic and investment in infrastructural research and development such as Tamma, autonomous tools and artificial intelligence-based tools for content creation.
In addition, the program will provide an answer to the issues of regulation and ethics, including the adoption of ethical principles, the formulation of principles for enabling regulation, examination of suitability and accessibility of risk management tools, the preparation of an AI guide for the regulator and the establishment of an international AI knowledge and standardization center.
Also, as part of the plan, steps are being promoted to make information and data bases accessible, access to which is important for the success of implementing AI, for the needs of the government and for research and development. Setting up databases for AI uses will be carried out in coordination with the National Digital System, the CBS and the Authority for the Protection of Privacy. In addition, government information projects will be adapted to AI uses, national projects and coordinated ventures will be promoted to establish "information assets" for research and development uses, and research and development will be promoted to enrich information for AI. The program will also encourage international collaborations that include a partnership with the OECD, participation in research, active participation in relevant global forums that will assist in the development of AI knowledge in Israel, holding joint projects and examining the need to establish joint investment funds.
The program launch conference took place within the SynergAI community, established by the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology to help solve national challenges through research and academic knowledge. The community has about 1,600 community members and is a multi-sector ecosystem that includes researchers from academia and industry, government officials and social organizations that maintain mutual relations and interfaces between them for the development of operative solutions. The community deals with government policy in the field of artificial intelligence and is designed to share knowledge, expose ventures and access to research and horizontal interfaces in the field of artificial intelligence. Emphasis on the areas of regulation, ethics and social implications of the field of artificial intelligence.

In the article where there is no information, the most information is hidden from the public eye. You can literally read between the lines...
The only reason artificial intelligence is being promoted so much is to track citizens.
The only ones who will have access to artificial intelligence in all its glory are the government and institutional bodies.
With the help of AI they will be able to control what we think, what we should choose, etc... But for this to work, people must be injected with a tracking chip. Started with scurvy, continue with monkeypox. The Marburg virus will also be pumped out soon. Pity our children
In the conference this was explicitly stated, I will correct it
Those who ask themselves whether there is a mind that is not flesh and blood - should watch the necessary link.
There is a dialogue there - and it's really (but really) interesting (!!!!).

The only question here is: Is the engineer (who was dismissed from Google) lying, meaning: the text shown in the video is his invention.
If not and the engineer did not fabricate the dialogue - it will be impossible to deny: the other understood: here.

Without any credit to professors Yitzhak Ben Israel and Avitar Matanya and Erna Berry who were the heads of serious committees on the matter and on whose work everything is based?
An article that deals with the public relations of people's names and committee names and numbers. There is no content in essence and no explanation about the program: how will it look in reality? What are the meanings in our daily lives? And what is the real price, besides money?
there is plenty to discover….
There is definitely a deep lack of text or audio analysis in Hebrew, let's hope that the public will also be able to enjoy it (and not just the police who will be able to quote and deepfake all the citizens of the country more effectively)
So when will artificial intelligence reach the level of a human?
To this day there is no living creature except man who builds temples and gathers for prayers.
When two artificial intelligences will develop from the same source, one will believe in the existence of God and the other will deny his existence, only then will it be possible to say that the intelligence has the intelligence of a person. (my idea)
My father, unfortunately: a long and repetitive article, almost devoid of content. There is no detail, or even a hint, of how AI will help in any field. Dozens of promises and expectations and sayings that you will help and help and help and improve and improve and improve. Even a few examples of improvement already done would help to understand the role and convince that it is possible.
Executive Summary: The elections are coming.
