Israel to build supercomputer to keep pace in global AI race

Israel next month will launch a tender to establish the country’s first supercomputer to ensure the country remains a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the chief executive of the state-backed Israel Innovation Authority said on Wednesday.

Speaking at an AI conference, Dror Bin said that while AI has been a friend for Israel’s tech sector, it could turn into a foe without action given AI is a fast evolving technology.
