🌍 How are the Dutch Government using #AI? According to research from the Netherlands Court of Audit, the Dutch central government is increasingly integrating #AI to enhance operational efficiency and public service. Here’s a snapshot of current trends and challenges: 🔹 #AI Deployment: 70 government organizations reported using or experimenting with #AI, totalling 433 systems, mainly for data processing and internal efficiencies.
