Yossi Vardi
Chairman, International Technologies
Dr. Vardi is a senior cybersecurity leader with extensive experience in national cyber defense, intelligence, and large‑scale security operations. He has held key roles across government and industry, focusing on cyber strategy, threat mitigation, and organizational resilience. His work centers on bridging technological, operational, and policy domains to strengthen national and enterprise‑level security.
Yossi Vardi
In 2022 Dr. Dor chaired the national committee to select the Israel Prize for technology and innovation. Dr. Dor holds a Ph.D. and M.S degree in computer science from Tel-Aviv University, in addition to graduating cum laude for her Bachelor of Science degree.
Her research about graph decomposition, median selection and geometric pattern matching in d-dimensional space has been published in several influential scientific journals.
Stuart J. Russell
Professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley
Stuart J. Russell is a British-American computer scientist renowned for his foundational contributions to artificial intelligence and for co‑authoring Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, the leading AI textbook used worldwide. He is a professor at UC Berkeley, where he directs the Center for Human-Compatible AI and focuses on ensuring that advanced AI systems remain beneficial to humanity.

Silvio Micali
Professor of Computer Science at MIT and Turing Award Winner
Silvio Micali is a Professor of Computer Science at MIT and one of the foundational figures in modern cryptography. His work introduced core concepts such as probabilistic encryption, semantic security, and zero‑knowledge proofs, reshaping how secure digital communication is built today. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 for these groundbreaking contributions.

Martin Hellman
Turing Award Winner
Martin Hellman is best known for his role in inventing public key cryptography, the technology that enables secure Internet transactions. He contributed to the computer privacy debate, and was a key participant in the “first crypto war” of the late 1970s. Currently, he is focused on working with members of the US Congress to rein in the president’s ability to launch a nuclear first strike solely on his say-so.
Hellman’s many honors include the million dollar ACM Turing Award, the top prize in computer science.
He has written a book with his wife Dorothie, A New Map for Relationships: Creating True Love at Home & Peace on the Planet. It describes how they transformed a marriage that was on the brink of divorce to one in which they haven’t had a fight in about 20 years and how those same lessons apply to international relations.
