PublishedDutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI) and Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP)7 Nov 2024

Joint final advice from RDI and AP (34 pages) on the design of Dutch supervision of the AI Act. Core: AI supervision aligns as closely as possible with regular sectoral supervision, products with CE marking remain with their existing supervisor, and cross-sectoral applications such as recruitment and selection, assessment in education and risk-based selection by public authorities require close cooperation. RDI and AP assume the coordinating expert role. The cabinet adopted this advice substantially in full in the draft legislative proposal of April 2026. An English version is also available.
