説明を展開
Israel's AI strategy is "world-class supply meets weak public coordination": (1) the National AI Program (NIS 5.26bn / ~US$1.48bn over five years, 2021-2026) sets the headline framing; (2) the State Comptroller's 2024 report flagged actual disbursement at only ~20% — a severe execution gap; (3) Phase 2 launched in 2024 with NIS 500m for R&D infrastructure (a National AI Research Institute) running through 2027; (4) Unit 8200 and adjacent IDF intelligence units feed an unmatched pipeline of frontier engineering talent; (5) cybersecurity AI is a global lead (Wiz acquired by Google for US$32bn in 2025). Assessment: Israel's AI is dominated by private and military supply, not by national coordination. Compared with Singapore's SNDGO-led top-down model, Israel's AI strategy effectively lives in the founder community, with the state acting more like a backstop than a coordinator.
