Report on The Netherlands: For more than half of the AI systems used, state organisations say the opportunities have not yet been weighed against the risks. Moreover, there is an incentive to rate risks low. For a third of the systems, it’s unclear whether they are useful. This happens, for example, when the goal is not defined in advance.
