#73 - Torah and Technology: Lessons of Building Trustworthy AI at Sefaria

In September 2023, Israel's Sefaria, Munich's AppliedAI Institute and the Venture Lab joined forces to explore how AI could enhance Torah study. After months of embedding, prototyping, gathering feedback, and fine-tuning, Sefaria is preparing to roll out new AI-powered features in the second half of the year—making them available to the million-plus users who rely on their platform.

This marks a significant milestone for any organization, but especially for Sefaria, which is deeply committed to truthfulness, transparency, and intellectual rigour. It’s also a moment that resonates with all AI startups working at the TUM Software/AI Venture Lab, where responsible innovation is a shared value.

So do join us as we discuss with Hadara Steinberg, AI Researcher and Product Manager and Lev Israel, Sefaria' CTO as they share the insights, challenges, and learnings from building an AI platform at the intersection of tradition and cutting-edge technology.
