Cabinet takes step towards supervision of European AI rules
PublishedGovernment of the Netherlands (State Secretary for Digital Economy and Sovereignty)20 Apr 2026
Official government announcement at the start of the public consultation on the Dutch AI Regulation Implementation Act. The government chooses a hybrid model in which existing sectoral supervisors exercise supervision of AI within their own domain. Where no clear supervisor yet exists, the Personal Data Authority is designated with a separate AI directorate. The Personal Data Authority and Digital Infrastructure Inspectorate together take the coordinating role in the system.
What this means for you
This is the government source that establishes that there is no new AI supervisor but the existing sectoral supervisor continues, with the Personal Data Authority as the safety net.
