    The national AI plan is a long-term plan aimed at assisting in the development and implementation of AI in the public sector and economy. Today, Israel National Digital Agency CEO, Shira Lev Ami, spoke at the plan launch conference on the relation between the government Data revolution and the promotion of AI in the public sector.

    "Our challenge is to create smart solutions to the core challenges of Israeli society and to improve public service. You can look at AI as the luxury penthouse built over a multistory building of Data & Digital infrastructure," Lev Ami said. "Investing in government Data and making it accessible to the industry, academy, and the government itself will lead to Data-driven decision-making, improved service to the public, and a leap forward in the effectiveness of government activity, for the benefit of health, welfare, education, and economy in Israel."​
