Artificial Intelligence

In recent years, the world has been facing a massive technological leap. The computer is no longer just a tool programmed to perform tasks or make decisions based on past data; rather, from day to day, it is becoming more capable of thinking, understanding, learning, developing, and creating on its own – just like the human mind, and even beyond. The implications of this technological revolution ignite the imagination, accompanied by increasing dangers, widening gaps, and moral dilemmas that will become more acute.

The questions confronting The Trump Foundation are: what is the “excellence” that will be needed by researchers, scientists, and developers in the era of computers that learn and create independently, and knowledge and skills must be taught in schools to prepare for this future echelon of excellence in Israel. Other countries around the world, such as Singapore, Korea, Japan, New Zealand, and Canada, have already begun systematically addressing this issue as of 2018.

We believe that the foundation can serve as a catalyst for building this field, assisting pioneers, promoting collaborative learning, developing and adapting content and programs, training teachers and educators, and learning and improving in the process. Since this is a rapidly evolving field, the pace of action in education will be of great importance.
