AI Becomes Everyday Co-Worker in Israel’s High-Tech Sector
Artificial intelligence has already become standard equipment for Israel’s high-tech workforce, a new survey by the Israel Innovation Authority showed on Tuesday, reshaping how people work while stirring fresh anxiety about their future. The poll of more than 500 employees across companies and startups found that AI tools are no longer a novelty but a daily companion for most of the sector.
According to the authority, 95% of workers now use AI tools on a regular basis, and 78% turn to them every day. Adoption is strongest among employees aged 25 to 34, where 86% reported daily use. Tech staff lean on AI for software development and problem-solving, while non-technical workers plug it into writing, research, and ongoing learning.

AI is not just used for a single task here or there. About 82% of daily users rely on it for three or more kinds of work, and one quarter now deploy it for more than six types of tasks. The survey paints a picture of a workforce that is wiring AI into almost every stage of the workday.
Productivity numbers are striking. Some 70% of respondents said AI improved the quality of their output, 50% reported shorter work time, and 40% said AI tools cut more than half the time needed for certain tasks. Overall, about 75% of employees felt a clear boost in productivity.
That surge in efficiency comes with unease. Concerns about job security are strongest among senior and experienced staff, with 37% in that group reporting high levels of worry about what AI might eventually mean for their careers.
