Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met last night with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt to discuss artificial intelligence, the Prime Minister’s Office reveals.

Netanyahu asked Schmidt, who has advised both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, to serve on his team of AI advisers, and Schmidt accepted, according to the PMO.

Earlier this week Netanyahu met with Netanyahu tech CEO Elon Musk in California for talks that also touched on the possible benefits and dangers of AI.
