The UK and Israel have become founding members of the Pax Silica Alliance, a strategic initiative focused on securing and strengthening AI and technology supply chain.
Spearheaded by the US and launched last week at the summit in Washington DC, the alliance is also made up of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, the UAE and Australia – all representing nations with a major presence in the fast-growing AI industry.
The participants of the newly formed Pax Silica alliance committed to working in partnership in areas such as:
- Strengthening the supply chains of critical minerals, chips, and energy.
- Establishing joint ventures and shared strategic investments.
- Protecting sensitive technologies and infrastructures from access or control by hostile nations.
- Establishing a trustworthy technological ecosystem – including ICT systems, fibre optic cables, data centres, foundational models, and AI applications.
- Israel was represented at the summit by Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister, Prof. Avi Simhon, who noted: “Together with our international partners, we are working to fortify the global AI industry, strengthen the resilience of supply chains, and ensure the economic and security prosperity of the participating countries and their citizens.”
