| 23 | +#### Inventory 14 Dutch Ministries Netherlands Algorithm Registry |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Last summer, 14 Dutch Ministries published their inventories of high-risk AI system and high-impact algorithms in the Dutch National Algorithm Registry. The results are summarized below ⬇️ |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +😮 About 3,5% of the 370 inventoried algorithms are classified as high-risk AI system. This is far below the European Commission’s estimate that around 15% of algorithmic systems would fall in this category. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +❓It remains unclear whether the inventories were conducted in a structured and consistent way. This raises concerns about the correctness and completeness of both the identification and risk classification of AI systems |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +For instance: |
| 32 | +- Monocam of the Dutch Police: published as a ‘high-impact algorithm’ instead of ‘high-risk AI system’. According to the AI Act Annex III 6(d) it should qualify as high-risk, since the system caluclates a likelihood of an offence (phone use while driving). |
| 33 | +- In the letter of Economic Affairs, it’s stated that no algorithms were inventoried at ICTU, while 1 algorithm is listed in the registry |
| 34 | +- 273 out of 370 systems of Dutch national institutions are now publicly listed in the Algorithm Registry, a significant step towards more transparency. |
| 35 | +- The Ministry of Defence identified zero AI systems. This highlights the absence of democratic oversight for AI deployed for security and warfare context |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +More algorithms under governance = greater need for consistent AI oversight 🧮 That’s why Algorithm Audit offers a free, open-source tool to identify and classify algorithmic systems, already used by Dutch public sector bodies: https://algorithmaudit.eu/technical-tools/implementation-tool/#tool |
