The theme of data, algorithms, and artificial intelligence (AI) is alive and well within the province of Zuid-Holland. Policy officers and administrators are asking themselves questions such as:
- What developments in the application of data, algorithms, and AI can be expected in the Zuid-Holland economy?
- What do these developments mean for the (digital) future of SMEs in Zuid-Holland?
- How can SMEs be supported in these developments?
In particular, the (seemingly) unpredictable and disruptive nature of AI leads to concerns about the social and societal impact.
For this reason, the province has asked Dialogic to conduct a future exploration. We are not only investigating the technical possibilities, but are primarily looking at the role of the SME, the prerequisites for use (knowledge, skills, capital, etc.), and the impact on the existing chain within a sector. The broader societal issues surrounding matters such as data ownership, privacy, and market concentration will also be addressed. We do this based on four concrete AI cases within the sectors of agrifood, port/logistics, manufacturing, and tourism.
