Dialogic is conducting research on behalf of the Rekenkamer Katwijk into the use of Artificial Intelligence and algorithms (including generative AI) within the municipality of Katwijk, and how the preparation for a responsible deployment of these technologies is organized both structurally and from a governance perspective.
The use of algorithms and (generative) AI within municipalities is evolving rapidly and impacting public values such as transparency, privacy, non-discrimination, and human scale. The increased use of algorithms brings both opportunities and risks. The municipality of Katwijk is taking initial steps in this direction.
This research will focus on three main topics:
- Where and for what purposes are algorithms and AI applications (in use, pilot phase, or under exploration) being used by or on behalf of the municipality (via suppliers)?
- How are responsibilities, decision-making processes, and ethical safeguards surrounding deployment, pilots, and scaling organized?
- How is the municipality of Katwijk policy-wise preparing for (future) AI applications with potential impacts on residents, and how does this align with legislation and national frameworks?
