AI Strategy Recommendations by TELEM
Israel · Strategy · TELEM - the National Governmental Forum for R&D Infrastructure
Our summary
A strategic plan developed by Israel's national R&D forum to promote artificial intelligence and data science through targeted government intervention. It addresses critical gaps in computing infrastructure, human capital development, data accessibility, and regulatory frameworks across academia, industry, and the defense sector. The plan recommends establishing central national infrastructure including supercomputing capabilities and cloud services to accelerate research and development in AI.

1 Establishing a central national infrastructure for research and accelerating the
Recommends establishing a centralized national infrastructure with substantial computing power to serve researchers and projects of different scales, particularly those requiring intensive computational resources for training neural networks.
2 A very fast interface between the supercomputing center and the cloud
Recommends creating a high-speed connection between the supercomputing center and cloud infrastructure to enable rapid and extensive data access capabilities.
3 The cloud services enable proximity to data and computing capabilities which
The policy proposes awarding three annual grants of one million dollars each to leading Israeli AI researchers (totaling 15 million dollars over five years), recommending state support for industrial research and development, investment in Hebrew and Arabic language processing, international collaborations, and AI implementation across government and other sectors, with one designated government regulator managing research and development data. AI and data science have high potential across diverse fields, and Israel has a strategic need to preserve national, security, academic, and business resilience through diverse human infrastructure and sustained effort to establish local capacity and competitive international status.
