The expert forum will assist in developing a governmental strategy and policy for promoting the safe use of artificial intelligence, aiming to encourage innovation and maximize the technology’s social and economic benefits.

The national program’s Scientific Advisory Committee, the PBC is happy to launch a new Call for Proposals: AI for Science Moonshot. The term "Moonshot" is used here to describe an ambitious and groundbreaking project aimed at achieving a goal perceived as difficult or nearly impossible, but which has the potential to revolutionize a given domain with far-reaching implications for technological and overall progress.

The Israel Innovation Authority invites proposals for the establishment of an applied research consortium dedicated to the development of groundbreaking technologies in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies should be at the forefront of global R&D and have the potential to provide Israeli industry with a competitive edge in the international market.

Shortage in AI experts with graduate-level academic qualifications constitutes a barrier to the local high-tech industry’s ability to fulfil its potential for AI-driven innovation. Some 300-400 advanced degree graduates complete their studies each year and join the high-tech industry in research roles. Yet the demand for such experts is much higher. Attracting foreign talent into the Israeli high-tech eco system serves to expand and diversify the local expert pool.

This guide was written for Israeli regulators to support the design of a responsible, innovation-friendly regulatory framework. It introduces the "regulatory sandbox" tool, explains its use in Israel, outlines its advantages and disadvantages, and provides examples from Israeli law to support better rulemaking.

In December 2023, Israel introduced its first policy on AI regulation and ethics. The policy aims to ensure AI is used responsibly, protecting people from risks like bias and privacy issues. Developed by several ministries and experts, it supports innovation while promoting fairness, safety, and transparency for all sectors using AI.

Further to Government Resolutions No. 212 of August 1, 2021 (hereinafter - Resolution212), No. 2118 of October 22, 2014, No. 4398 of December 23, 2018 and No. 218 ofAugust 1, 2021 and in light of the importance of technological innovation as the growthengine of the Israeli high-tech sector, and in order to support the continued prosperityof the Israeli innovation industry and its leadership in the global innovationcompetition

Israel has opened a public call to support AI projects in government. The goal is to improve digital services, increase efficiency, and enhance decision-making. Projects are chosen based on feasibility, impact, planning, and ethical risk management, helping government provide better services to citizens.
