説明を展開
Israel's headline NIS 5.26bn (~US$1.48bn) National AI Program budget needs to be read against actual outturn: State Comptroller's 2024 audit found just ~US$281m (~20%) had been disbursed through end-2023. The remaining 80% sits in unappropriated lines or stalled procurement. Assessment: the gap reflects coordination failure across Innovation Ministry / IIA / IDF / Bank of Israel rather than political opposition to AI. Without an SNDGO-style empowered owner, the budget mostly stays as headlines. Singapore's S$2bn+ direct AI commitments execute differently because SNDGO has unambiguous program authority.
