De Nationale AI-Cursus
How AI works
AI in public services
What can I learn?
Dutch-made introduction to algorithms, machine learning, AI ethics and societal impact. Developed in the NL ecosystem, so examples and framings are relevant to Dutch public services and society. Over 500,000 participants.
Core insight
AI is already embedded in Dutch daily life — from municipal algorithms to job-matching tools — and understanding its basics helps you see and name what is already happening around your clients.
How to use it in daily work
Builds the vocabulary and confidence to discuss AI with Dutch clients in their own language and context.
- When clients encounter algorithmic scoring at the gemeente or UWV, you can explain what is probably happening and what rights they have.
- Helps you discuss AI in the context of Dutch public services without having to translate from English-language examples.
