Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

ECG AI is proven to saves lives! We use AI every day at Clalit Innovation, to create disease prediction models, diagnosis tools and treatment recommendations. But, this week, a new study out of Taiwan showed, for the first time, that using ECG AI-based alerts to warn physicians about high-risk patients led to an astounding 31% drop in mortality and an even bigger drop in cardiac death. The trial showcased how by implementing AI-based ECG alert tools, mortality risks decreased significantly within a month. Prof. Ran Balicer, shares in this interview: "At Clalit Innovation, we are pioneers in integrating AI tools in medicine and have been doing so for over a decade, this is a momentous occasion. Our self-developed AI tools, such as the C-Pi platform, are already making a huge difference in hundreds of community clinics, significantly enhancing treatment quality. In fact, recent articles in prestigious scientific journals have highlighted how the C-PI tool improved disease identification by a 100 times!" This clinical trial serves as ultimate proof of the transformative power of AI in healthcare. It opens up new avenues for improving treatment quality and safety, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on meaningful patient interaction. #HealthAI #AI #AIinHealth #healthcare #innovation #healthcareinnovation #AIresearch #AIclinicalresearch #healthcaretech #medtech #medicalinnovation #clinicalresearch

What if all the trending #buzzwords, when put together, actually made sense? 🧐 I spoke about global #election campaigns, and how #AI-generated #deepfake was used in trying to skew them. The talk is in Hebrew, but I'm sure there's an AI for that 😉 It was based on detailed research by CP<R>'s Yoav Arad Pinkas, which can be read here - https://lnkd.in/dGfkR4vE Wikimedia Israel Reichman University Check Point Software https://lnkd.in/dRpPKf3X

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our lives and has sparked a significant impact worldwide, heralding a true revolution across various sectors and industries. While the application potential of AI presents vast opportunities, its utilization also poses numerous challenges, risks, and concerns, necessitating regulation in this innovative and groundbreaking field. The European Union Parliament recently approved the world's first law for regulating artificial intelligence, known as the EU AI ACT. This law aims to govern the use of AI, prescribing requirements and imposing fines for non-compliance. So, what should you know about this new law? Dr. Eyal Brook, the partner and head of the AI practice at our firm, sheds light on these questions in the following article: https://lnkd.in/ek5VChjE

Yuval Regev and his BI & Analytics team at Atera, the world’s first AI-powered IT management platform, lifted a core business KPI by 34% using the Loops Feature Impact Model. We are so proud and delighted to work with this leading analytics team. Initially, the naive effect (before/after) of a recent feature release appeared to have a positive outcome. However, with Loops they not only discovered that the causal effect was negative, they were empowered to make a series of iterative changes to maximize the KPI. You can read their case study to learn more about the process Yuval and team applied in making this significant impact on growth at Atera. #productledgrowth #causalml #causality https://lnkd.in/euc2JQDU

I published this week in ynet an article (https://lnkd.in/dgp2T945) calling to stop the construction of new gas-fired power plants. Here is an English translation - in 3 parts. part 1: The construction of new gas-fired power plants is a colossal waste. About half a year ago, the Minister of Energy made the final decision to cease electricity generation at the Reading station in the heart of Tel Aviv. This followed years of zigzagging decisions, accompanied by threats from industry professionals of "doomsday darkness scenario", a professional term that has become commonplace. In its place, a battery storage facility will be built. It is fitting that a similar decision be made to scrap plans for the construction of new gas‑fired power plants, such as the Kassem and Reindeer power stations. The development plan for the electricity sector prepared by Noga, the Israeli independent system operator, after examination under extremely conservative assumptions, determined that (barely) two additional gas‑fired stations are needed by 2030. These stations are de facto already in development - in Sorek and Eshkol - so there is no need for additional ones. A recent decision made by the National Planning Council, encouraged by the Ministry of Finance and the Planning Administration and opposed by the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, is just plain wrong. Every additional gas‑fired station is a waste of public funds, leads to pollution, locks us into continued greenhouse gas emissions, and harms public health and the environment. Noga’s conservative assumptions did not consider additional options for dealing with peak demand: 1. It is already clear that even if we do not meet the 2030 renewable energy target of 30%, we will not be far from it. Therefore, we will not even need the two gas-fired stations whose construction has already begun. 2. The electrification of vehicles, which was a source of concern for Noga, is proving, as I have previously argued, the opposite in recent days, when the WEVO, a company which manages the charging of thousands of electric vehicles, showed that it was able to significantly reduce the electricity consumption of vehicles during peak hours through flexible pricing. In this matter as well, Noga’s concerns are proving to be unfounded. 3. The entry of private suppliers - companies that consumers can be connected to in order to reduce the cost of electricity - makes the possibility of demand management, which was not considered at all in the development plan, feasible. Suppliers will strive in the coming years to reduce peak demand, as their profits depend on it.

** 👓 Transparency Alert👓 ** Don't fear from it! Rather it is in-house or while working with customers, Transparency is a key point for relationship building. Why? Check below: 🔅 Setting expectations in place: creating no room for assumptions or unclarity. 🔅 Creating trust : both employees and customers feel valued and respected. Knowing the company isn’t hiding information builds loyalty and encourages honesty. 🔅 Attracts Like-Minded Customers and Partners: one of the most important things for an employer, you want to preserve a certain culture, this can ensure that, also for customers, it sets the tone for the relationship when on the same mindset. 🔅 Improves Decision-Making: When all the cards are on the table, it helps make the right decision according to the wide picture which eventually will align with both company goals. It empowers employees to act in the company’s best interests. 🔅 Focus on problem solving : being transparent about issues and processes helps avoid finger-pointing and promotes a focus on finding solutions rather than fostering a blame culture Transparency, when handled wisely, can be a key point in a company's success by creating a supportive, open, and loyal community around it, for both inbound and outbound. What else would you say it can improve? Take an example from Healthee below, which is setting the trend of employers' transparency when it comes to compensation. #Customerrelationship #Transperancy https://lnkd.in/ezYjTsVX

In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, accessing top tech talent often means expanding internationally. At COMMIT Offshore, with 200+ team members across four global centers, I’ve found that thriving in global hiring depends on two main factors: 🔑 Cultural Compatibility: Embracing cultural diversity is key. For instance, Israel’s direct style can differ greatly from the more reserved approach of Ukrainian, Armenian professionals. 🤝 Emphasis on Soft Skills: Technical expertise is critical, but it’s the adaptability, communication, and teamwork skills that truly bind a team. Identifying and understanding personality types can transform team dynamics: 🔍 The Analyst – Detail-oriented, thorough, and structured. Perfect for roles that need data-driven decisions and precision. ✅ The Task-Oriented – Mission-focused, efficient, and punctual. Ideal for tasks with tight deadlines and clear objectives. 🎤 The Promoter – Charismatic and engaging, they light up the room. Great fit for Sales and Marketing! 🤝 The Supporter – Calm, empathetic, and reliable. Perfect for roles in care-giving and customer support. Creating successful international teams goes beyond recruitment—it's about building a shared culture that resonates globally.
