AI regulation and ethics policy (2023): requirements, deadlines and compliance actions
Israel's Policy on Artificial Intelligence Regulation and Ethics
What is AI regulation and ethics policy (2023)?
Adopted in December 2023 after public consultation, the policy sets Israel's approach: sector-specific regulation by existing regulators, a risk-based approach, preference for soft tools (standards, self-regulation, sandboxes) over binding rules at this stage, alignment with OECD principles, and common ethical principles (growth and sustainable development, human-centricity, equality, transparency, safety, accountability, privacy). It establishes an AI policy coordination centre and an expert advisory forum.
