The Jerusalem Museum of Tolerance hosted education ministers from around the world as part of a conference focused on education in the age of artificial intelligence.
The conference opened with a speech by U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, who emphasized that artificial intelligence is “perhaps the most significant technological change since the personal computer,” but clarified that it should be guided by values: “It can cook us food and warm us — or burn down our house.”
Ambassador Friedman stressed that “education based on misinformation is not education at all,” and highlighted the importance of international cooperation in shaping responsible innovation.
Throughout the day, in-depth discussions were held with leadership and educators and innovators, around issues of the future of learning, technology, ethics, and educational responsibility.
During the visit, delegations toured the exhibition ‘From Darkness to Light: 06:29’, and were first introduced to a new project in advanced development: an exhibition entirely based on artificial intelligence technologies, expected to open to the public during 2026.
The conference was attended by delegations from Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Germany, Israel, Panama, Paraguay, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, and Vietnam.
