WRR Rapport 105 — Opgave AI: De nieuwe systeemtechnologie

Digital rights & policy AI in public services

What can I learn?

The flagship Dutch policy framing of AI as a 'systeemtechnologie' — with five strategic imperatives: demystification, contextualisation, engagement, regulation, and positioning. A 16-page summary, infographic and explainer videos make it digestible.

Core insight

AI is a system technology — like electricity or the internet — meaning its effects are not contained but permeate everything. That requires a systemic, societal response, not just individual consumer choices.

How to use it in daily work

Gives you the authoritative Dutch policy framing to use when discussing AI at an organisational or policy level.

  • When a library or community organisation asks 'what should we do about AI?', the WRR five-point framework is a structured starting point that has official weight.
