Coordination of algorithmic and AI supervision

Since 2023, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) has been the coordinating market surveillance authority for algorithms and AI that involve risks to fundamental values and rights.

To that end, a separate organisational unit has been set up within the AP, the Department for the Coordination of Algorithmic Oversight (DCA). The DCA contributes to better control of algorithms and AI in the Netherlands by providing high-level risk analysis, strengthening collaboration between market surveillance authorities, and helping develop new (legal) frameworks.

2024 work plan for the oversight of AI and algorithms

Being the coordinating market surveillance authority for algorithms and AI, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) will focus on four key areas in 2024: algorithmic transparency, auditing, governance, and prevention of algorithmic discrimination. We are also preparing for the EU AI Act and looking into the risks of generative AI.
