The United States and Israel have signed a memorandum of understanding designed to deepen collaboration in artificial intelligence and energy, the two governments announced during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington. The agreement, described by Israeli officials as the first of its kind between the countries in the AI field, was signed at Blair House by the Israeli ambassador to the United States alongside senior U.S. cabinet members responsible for interior and energy policy. The non-binding pact commits both sides to share research, expand joint R&D projects and explore commercial applications spanning advanced computing and power technologies. Netanyahu said the accord underscores that “the future belongs to those who innovate,” calling the United States and Israel “the prime innovation nations.” Specific project funding levels and timelines were not released, but officials indicated follow-up working groups would be established to outline next steps.
