Dutch Experts Push for Ambitious National AI Strategy
Over fifty leading Dutch experts have sounded the alarm: the Netherlands must act fast to stay competitive in the global artificial intelligence race. They are calling for a comprehensive national “AI Delta Plan,” inspired by the country’s historic Delta Works flood-protection project. This bold move aims to position the Netherlands as a global leader in AI, not just a follower.
Why the Urgency?
AI technology is evolving at breakneck speed, and countries around the world are ramping up their efforts. The experts warn that without a large-scale, coordinated plan, the Netherlands could miss out on major opportunities, jobs, and future prosperity. They propose a strategy as ambitious as the Delta Works that protected the country from devastating floods in the past. The message is clear: Go big on AI, or risk getting washed away by the competition!
Let’s face it—nobody wants to be the country still using floppy disks while everyone else is building robots that make pancakes. If the Dutch can hold back the sea, surely they can hold their own in the AI revolution!
