OpenAI CEO optimistic about Israeli involvement in mitigating AI risks and exploring investment opportunities.

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, predicts a "huge role" for Israel in reducing risks from artificial intelligence and is eyeing investment opportunities in the country. Altman is urging governments to rapidly come up with regulations to make sure AI is used responsibly. Israel is ranked among the top five countries for significant machine learning systems and concentration of AI skills. Altman visited Microsoft Corp's R&D centre in Israel and said the company is studying various investment options in Israel. Israel published a 115-page draft AI policy in October and is collating public feedback ahead of a final decision.
