Israel’s Ministry of Defense is increasing its procurement of AI chips due to potential US export restrictions.

This information was confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Elad Dvir, head of the ministry’s AI branch.

These limitations impact AI hardware and software export, raising concerns about Israel’s security and technological independence.

Israel’s Tier B and Tier D categorization by the US complicates its ability to acquire advanced technologies for AI.

Officials are calling for improved diplomacy with the US and urgent domestic reforms to secure Israel’s global position in AI and advanced technologies.
