“AI will transform our economy, our society, and indeed everything we do,” said Ben Hakurai, Microsoft’s national technology officer. “This event marks the beginning of Microsoft’s efforts in Israel to build national capacity, especially around AI and generative AI. To bring Microsoft in, to bring Israel’s economy into it, and to take society to a new level.”
Hakurai spoke to CTech at AISrael 2024, an event co-sponsored by Microsoft and Calcalist, establishing the potential of GenAI in almost every field and how companies are responding to the massive influx of new technologies.
“We’re seeing it permeate everywhere,” he added. “If you look at more traditional industries, such as the health industry, these sectors are beginning to understand that this new technology will transform the way they do their daily work.”
