Sarine bets on niche AI to drive its next chapter
For years, Sarine Technologies has been best known as the quiet force behind the diamond industry’s transformation—its machines guiding cutters, grading stones, and stripping away much of the subjectivity from gem evaluation. Now, the company is turning the page, with a new playbook centered squarely on specialised artificial intelligence.
Rather than chasing the hype of general-purpose AI, Sarine is sharpening its focus on domain-specific tools designed to deliver measurable, real-world results. In diamonds, that has meant higher yields from rough stones, consistent polished grading, and lower costs through automation. In effect, the company has turned precision into a business model.
The strategy is no longer confined to gemstones. Sarine’s investment in Kitov.ai signals a leap into industries where failure is costly—think aerospace, automobiles, and advanced medical devices. Kitov’s inspection technology uses AI to convert CAD designs into automated quality checks, cutting down on engineering hours while raising standards of accuracy.
To Sarine, this kind of AI is less about flashy capabilities and more about building defensible advantages. As the company frames it, specialised AI isn’t just a tool—it’s a moat, one that protects value by delivering outcomes generic platforms can’t match.

US Tariffs: “Existential Threat” to Israel’s Diamond Industry
Israel’s diamond industry is facing an “existential threat” after the US zero-rated polished diamond imports from the EU, but retained the 15 per cent tariff on Israeli goods. Israel’s once-thriving diamond industry is already reeling from the global downturn and the impact of two years of war against Hamas in Gaza.
Net exports of rough and polished diamonds fell 23 per cent year-on-year during January to August 2025 (from $2.1bn to $1.6bn) according to Israeli government figures.
Nissim Zuaretz president of the Israel Diamond Exchange called on Israel’s government to challenge the US tariffs, which give Antwerp and other European suppliers a huge advantage over his country.
