In the cybersecurity sector, artificial intelligence testing is crucial. This is because AI has the potential to help cybersecurity overcome some of its major obstacles. And there are many obstacles, including the incapacity of many organizations to stay on top of the numerous new risks and attacks that emerge as the internet and technological usage increase. AI-powered cybersecurity is expected to change how we respond to cyber attacks. Because of its capacity to study and learn from enormous volumes of data, artificial intelligence will be crucial in identifying sophisticated threats.

Making Israel one of the world's five leading countries in artificial intelligence (AI) will require a NIS 1-2 billion annual investment by the government, out of the NIS 10 billion invested in this sector in Israel, according to the recommendations of a committee headed by Maj. The committee was formed at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Parts of the committee's draft report were revealed to "Globes", and were presented in brief as part of the AI Week held at Tel Aviv University in cooperation with the Israel Innovation Authority and Intel. The committee has 15 subcommittees, on which 300 senior people from the government, the IDF, institutions of higher education, and the technology industry serve. Its recommendations are slated for submission to the government in January 2020, if there is a government at that time.
