ISRAEL - Fourth Most Advanced AI Country
Israel has ranked fourth place in the top ten list of countries worldwide that are considered most advanced in artificial intelligence (AI), according to a recent study conducted by the company ZeroBounce.
The study placed ten countries on the list in the following order from 1 to 10: the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Germany, India, France, South Korea, and Singapore.
In order to come up with the ranking, the study was said to have analyzed private investments made in the last decade, the number of AI-related start-ups, and workforce-related criteria such as the rate of AI specialists and related job postings.
The United States, which scored first place in AI advancement, was found to have made $335.2 billion in private investments over the last decade. Furthermore, the finding showed that 5,500 AI start-ups have been created in the US, and in 2024, people interested in AI can find 71,000 related vacancies.
Israel has spent $12.83 billion on AI innovations. 442 start-ups related to artificial intelligence were founded in the country, almost 300 less than in the UK, but Israel has the highest concentration of AI talent compared to the total workforce with 1.13%, the study noted.

Arno's Commentary
That Israel has reached place four among the nations of the world when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) is actually not surprising. Israel is a Jewish State, and throughout recorded history they have excelled.
For example, as of 2023, some 216 Jews have won Nobel Prizes, which is equivalent to 22% of total recipients worldwide. Yet the global population of Jews amounts to only 0.2%.
Aish.com list nine great quotes about Jews. Here are some:
• “The preservation of the Jews is really one of the most single and illustrious acts of divine Providence…” – Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol (1704-1782)
• “The Jew is eternal. He is the embodiment of eternity.” – Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), author of “An Examination of Dogmatic Theology”
• “I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations…” – John Adams, Second President of the United States
• “The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed… The Jew saw them all, beat them all… All things are mortal but the Jew.” – Mark Twain, “Concerning The Jews,” Harper’s Magazine, 1899
• “Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.” – Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain
The difference between Israel and the rest of the world was exhibited by the declaration of the heathen prophet Balaam: “…lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations” (Numbers 23:9b).
