From High-Tech to High School: Amal’s PAI Equips Students for an AI-Driven Future
Israel’s high-tech sector is undergoing a rapid AI transformation, with the vast majority of employees now using AI tools regularly, most of them on a daily basis, according to a new survey by the Israel Innovation Authority and its partners. Workers report clear productivity gains: strong improvements in work quality and, for about 40%, task times cut by more than half, as highlighted in recent coverage of the survey in international and Israeli media. At the same time, many employees, especially in technical and senior roles, feel both the opportunity and the threat of GenAI to their future careers, underscoring the need for strong digital skills and adaptability.
AI is now embedded in a wide variety of tasks across the tech ecosystem, from code writing, debugging, and documentation to research, learning, and content creation, as described in analyses of workplace AI adoption in Israel. Most daily users rely on AI for at least three different categories of work, and around a quarter employ it for more than six types of tasks, reflecting how deeply AI has become part of everyday professional practice. This reality makes AI literacy and responsible use a core requirement for Israel’s future workforce, which is already a central focus of policy and industry reports on AI and human capital
Against this backdrop, Amal’s PAI (Pedagogic AI) initiative is designed to bring the same AI-driven transformation into the classroom, ensuring that students and teachers do not just respond to change but help lead it. By integrating advanced AI tools into everyday teaching, PAI supports personalized learning, richer lesson design, and real-time feedback, giving educators practical ways to mirror industry practices in development, research, and content creation. For Amal’s donors and partners, PAI represents a strategic investment in future-ready education – quipping tens of thousands of students with the critical thinking, flexibility, and AI fluency that today’s labor market already demands.
