AI has become a strategic asset for economic productivity, sustainable development, geopolitical influence and military capabilities worldwide. The Netherlands鈥 international AI strategy sets out how we navigate this new reality.

The strategy aims to strengthen Dutch and European competitiveness and strategic autonomy by building on our strengths, such as our world-class semiconductor industry, which gives us a unique position in the global AI supply chain. AI creates both new opportunities and new risks. This strategy protects and promotes democratic values and human rights worldwide, enabling safe and responsible AI development and deployment from Europe to Asia.

We can only achieve this through international partnerships and coalitions of countries, technical communities, civil society and the private sector that share these objectives.

All 黑料福利网 students and staff are welcome to join this interactive event; ask your AI questions to the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs; Tom Berendsen or Carlo van de Weijer; General Manager of the Eindhoven AI Systems Institute.

Tom Berendsen

Minister Berendsen: 鈥淭he world around us is changing, and our freedom and prosperity are under pressure. I am optimistic that together with our European and international partners we can protect our position in the world. By looking beyond our own borders and working together with countries that share our values. And by forging new strategic partnerships. This way, we make the Netherlands and Europe stronger 鈥 for ourselves and for generations to come.鈥
