Supervision of AI

Sectoral supervision of AI
VNO-NCW and MKB-Nederland advocate for sectoral supervision of AI. In addition to technical knowledge of AI systems and AI-driven products, proper supervision requires thorough knowledge of the various domains in which AI is applied, such as the medical or financial sector, retail, energy sector, transport, and telecoms. This can be compared to the supervision of cyber security, which is also sector-based. The (sectoral) context in which the AI system is applied is an essential factor to be considered. Research by the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) has also shown that currently existing supervisory authorities have sufficient competences to supervise AI effectively. Placing the supervision of AI in the hands of one specific supervisory authority is therefore neither necessary nor desirable.
