This document is an official Cabinet response by the Dutch State Secretary to the Report on AI & Algorithm Risks Netherlands by the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), dated Aug. 21, 2025. The letter addresses the AP's findings on the risks and effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithms within the Netherlands, particularly in government. The Cabinet confirms that good steps have been taken with AI/algorithm frameworks, but acknowledges that progress in registration of AI systems in the Algorithm Register is still insufficient, leading to a lack of adequate oversight of high-risk applications. The response also addresses the growing risks of AI chatbots for therapeutic purposes and the need for a more comprehensive and controlled approach to AI systems and the promotion of AI literacy among officials. Finally, it confirms the preparation for the European AI Regulation and the design of national supervision of it.
