The state auditor: Israel does not have a national strategy in the field of artificial intelligence, a setback in Israel's ranking

In addition, there is no comprehensive government entity. Israel is behind compared to the progress of regulation in the European Union where there is already legislation that regulates the use of artificial intelligence according to risk levels

Will autonomous cars coexist with human-driven cars at the same time?

 Eliezer Yudkovski described how an AI apocalypse could happen. In a 2008 article he wrote: "How likely is it that artificial intelligence will cross the entire wide gap from amoeba to village fool, and then stop at the level of human genius?" And his answer: "From a physical point of view, it will be possible to build a brain that can calculate a million times faster than a human brain... If we accelerate a human brain in this way, a subjective year of thought will shrink to 31 physical seconds in the external world, and a thousand years will pass in eight and a half hours."

It seems that as a result of several technological trends that will integrate and reinforce each other, hospitals will become less and less relevant for the majority of patients in the coming decades. They will not disappear completely, but most citizens will be able to avoid visiting them, or at least being hospitalized for a long time. Illustration: pixabay.com.
