On the 31st of July, at the international exhibition in Osaka, Japan, the Middle East’s occupying state introduced its national Israel AI tool, Horizon Scan, designed to track and forecast global trends, marketing it as country’s latest strategic upper-hand of emerging technologies, developed by Israel’s Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology and is being hailed as a world-first in national foresight systems.
Described by The Jerusalem Post as the first AI targeting system developed as the first governmental platform of its kind, Horizon Scan monitors developments across eight key domains: technology, economy, security, climate, state affairs, geopolitics, demography, and ideology.
The system brings the Israel AI drone defenses with big data to support long-term strategic planning and predicts future challenges.
In a video message, Innovation Minister, Gila Gamliel, called Horizon Scan “an extraordinary national technological achievement,” mentioning that military predictive AI reinforces Israel’s scientific security and strategic independence at a time of rapid global change.
Live demonstrations of the Israel defense AI strategy system were presented at the event, alongside talks by Israeli researchers and technology experts. Japanese government officials and diplomats, including members of Tokyo’s Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, were also in attendance.
Ancient Roots to Modern Israel AI
The military artificial intelligence Israel launches also served to strengthen scientific collaboration between Israel and Japan.
Organizers indicated the tool’s launch generated strong interest among Japanese stakeholders, clearing the way for future bilateral collaboration in research and innovation.
“Our cooperation in science, technology, and innovation connects researchers, students, and ideas,” said Israel’s Ambassador to Japan, Gilad Cohen.
Horizon Scan took center stage at the AI warfare Israel national pavilion, which blended history with modern technology.
One of the highlights was a 2,000-year-old Jerusalem in occupied Palestine, the stone, which is a symbol of resilience, where the resilience represents the people of Palestine, showcased alongside digital presentations of Israel autonomous weapons systems innovations in healthcare, mobility, and cybersecurity.
The installation worked to propel IDF AI technology message of continuity, grounding technological innovation in a deep cultural heritage and positioning itself at the forefront of global innovation. The tool could be added to the list of the Israel-US AI defense collaboration, where the US could have access to the tool – if it doesn’t already.
With Horizon Scan, Israel AI is not just embracing the future it is actively killing it, literally.
