The latest Israeli developments in artificial intelligence and data collection technology are bringing innovation to the personal and professional lives of ordinary people — and challenging conventional notions of privacy at the same time.

Representatives from start-ups Gloat, Pixoneye and IDRRA revealed some of their current projects at the 9th Ambassadors’ Roundtable on Artificial Intelligence at the Royal Society in London, an event organised by the Anglo-Israel Association.

Israel is currently ranked third in the world for innovation by the Global Competitive Index, having more than 430 artificial intelligence start-ups worth around $3.5 billion.

Pixoneye, which was listed last year in the top 100 firms by startup.co.uk, has developed an app that can be downloaded to a user’s phone to provide “hyper-personalised” information for targeted advertising.
