Artificial intelligence is so much more than the latest buzzword. By blurring the line between human and technology, AI has proven its staying power and will undoubtedly shape the future of life on Earth. It is also no secret that when it comes to AI innovation, Israel punches above its weight class. I recently called upon the brightest minds in Israel to take an active role in shaping AI applications on a global scale, setting ethical standards and ensuring that this technology is used for good.
When I think of Israel’s AI prowess, I can’t help but place the Technion at the center of the nation’s huge engine for pumping out leading S.T.E.M. talent. In Israel and around the world, Technion alumni and professors are shaping the future of AI across industries, from cybersecurity and finance to manufacturing and agriculture. I had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with a senior data scientist at Rambam Health Care Campus, Einat Borohovich, and dive into how this Technion alumna is transforming the healthcare industry with AI right in our own backyard of Haifa.
Michael: Since graduating, I know you’ve decided to stay in Haifa. I’m curious to hear more about what initially drew you to Northern Israel and the Technion.
Einat: Believe it or not, I’ve actually lived in Haifa for my entire life. I was born and raised just a few minutes away from the Technion’s bustling campus, so it was my dream to study there from a very young age. I ended up joining the military immediately after finishing high school, but my dream of studying at the Technion was always at the back of my mind.
