of data and the AI systems can access it to get training or to make decisions. The AI can also enter new data to cloud. 856 Cloud Computing is another area of Israel’s interest in research and development, there seem to be currently about 5 leading companies in Cloud Computing. 857 5G networks enable and improve the performance of AI systems by allowing transferring huge amounts of data while the AI can reciprocate by understanding the complexity of 5G networks and the information these networks produce. 858 In 2023 he State of Israel allocated over 6 million USD for a program to conduct research in various public sectors through the 5G technologies, this project is also supposed to promote Israeli hi-tech industry, mainly the companies which focus on communication solutions for communication operators around the world. 859 This chapter can be concluded by some additional considerations. Despite the ongoing development of the AI systems, there are still a lot of challenges stemming from the use of the AI and the technologies operating on its basis. First, there is no international standard for the safety of AI, therefore the AI could have various defects when entering the market. For example, the technologies could be discriminative towards certain groups of population. The AI could become a safety risk, the technologies could become highly independent and therefore get out of human control. Therefore, when it comes to the area of fully autonomous weapon systems, it might be relevant to consider, whether the use of the fully autonomous weapon systems should be completely banned by a treaty with similar effects like the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. 860 Second, the AI might have a negative impact on the areas of armament, including nuclear armament. Some scientists speak of a “hyper war” which is a war carried out with use of AI allowing automated decision making without the possibility of having the human decision-making process present. 861 Third, the use of AI might widen the gap between well-developed and developing countries which might become even more limited in operating at the international arena. This gap might be one of the reasons for large migration waves. Groups of inhabitants in developing countries might also use violent measures, for example terrorism, because of their inability to cope with this growing gap. 862 In contrary, the AI can have a great benefit, for example it can strengthen the countries with small or aging population. It can positively increase the global economic growth rate. The AI can help to find cure for illnesses and improve 856 ‘What Is Cloud Computing?’ ( Amazon , 2020) accessed 21 October 2023. 857 ‘Israel is in the front line of cloud computing era’ ( Economic and Commercial Mission Consulate General of Israel in Hong Kong , 2022) accessed 31 October 2023. 858 Yost S, ‘Brave New World: Everything Gets Smarter When 5G and AI Combine’ ( Electronic Design , 2019) accessed 21 October 2023. 859 ‘Israel IT government encourages 5G cellular Innovation’ ( ITA , 2023) accessed 31 October 2023. 860 Antebi, c. d. p. 73. 861 Allen JR and Hussain A, ‘On Hyper War’ ( Fortuna’s Corner, 2018) accessed 21 October 2023. 862 Zimmermann E, ‘Globalization and terrorism’ (2011) 27 European Journal of Political Economy 1.
