What is the scope of the NL AIC?
The impact of AI in our prosperity and well-being is already noticeable in almost all sectors and extends into our private lives. That impact is expected only to increase in the coming years. The scope of the NL AIC is therefore broad. We focus on five generic building blocks (see Building Blocks) that are important for all sectors, such as Healthcare and Agriculture and Nutrition (see sectors). The NL AIC wants to be a sustainable AI ecosystem for the Netherlands. The AiNed investment plan of the NL AIC has a time horizon of about seven years in which we now focus on programming activities specifically for the first two years. Based on data-driven insights, lessons learned, and current circumstances, the future phases will be further developed. Finally, the NL AIC has an international dimension in which we focus on influencing and utilising the policies and resources of the European Commission, on positioning the Netherlands as a leading country on AI and in cooperation with essential partner countries in Europe and beyond.
