AI Is Ready to Do Every Human Task. The Only Thing Stopping It Is Hardware - ft. Boaz Touitou, CTO of Impala

What if the future of AI isn’t just about faster chips - but about how people, teams, and entire countries will work once AI operates at massive scale?

In this episode of IsraelTech, Yoel Israel sits down with Boaz Touitou, CTO of Impala AI, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves far beyond GPUs and hardware limits.

We dive into:

- Impala AI’s focus and why compute is the limiting factor

- Training vs. test-time scaling and what changes at massive run counts

- The GPU race and why new hardware overtakes the old instantly

- What AI-first companies look like in practice

- Employees guiding AI systems as part of their daily workflow

- AI at national scale - from codebases to continuous video feeds

- Why humans and AI aren’t as different as we assume

- Self-play and reinforcement learning as drivers of rapid improvement

- A landscape where knowledge is open and compute is the main hurdle

Boaz offers a grounded, expansive view on where AI is headed - not just as a technology, but as a force reshaping work, responsibility, and the structure of modern organizations.
