説明を展開
Israel's National AI Program was launched in 2021 by the Innovation Authority + Ministry of Innovation, with NIS 5.26bn over 2021-2026. Five pillars: research excellence, AI supercompute, talent pipeline, AI in the public sector, AI ethics and trustworthy AI. Phase 2 launched in 2024 (NIS 500m, 2024-2027) targets the National AI Research Institute. Assessment: the framing is comprehensive but execution lags — by 2024 only ~20% of the headline NIS 5.26bn had been disbursed (per State Comptroller). The diagnosis is structural: rotating coalitions have repeatedly delayed budget approvals, and there is no equivalent of Singapore SNDGO with sustained political backing.
