“I will talk to him about artificial intelligence and will also try to convince him to invest in Israel in the coming years,” he added.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) since last year has demonstrated both the potential and dangers of this technology.
Among the concerns raised by AI are the possibilities that the Internet will be flooded with misinformation and that biased algorithms could spread racist material.
Elon Musk, one of the founders of the company OpenAI, whose management he later abandoned, has periodically warned about the dangers of AI. In March, he signed a petition calling for a pause in research into the next generation of AI “to ensure it does not pose a danger to the public.”
