Report AI & Algorithms Netherlands (RAN) - March 2026

PublishedDutch Data Protection Authority (AP)5 Mar 2026

Sixth edition of the half-yearly report in which the AP analyses the risks and effects of AI and algorithms in the Netherlands via the AI Impact Barometer. Four of the nine indicators are now red, compared with two in the previous edition. The three main points are that AI in recruitment and selection is growing rapidly with significant risks, that transparency and explainability are falling short, and that preparation for the AI Regulation is lagging. The AP also signals that organisations are attempting to circumvent the rules or failing to comply with them.

What this means for you

This is the factual risk picture on which the Dutch supervisory authority bases its priorities, with recruitment and selection at the top.
