Agenda • Introduction to the Netherlands (Dutch) AI Coalition – Core values – General proposition – Structure – Building blocks • SURF’s contribution De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 2 Dec 5, 2019
NL AI Coalition launched October 8th 2019 De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 3 Dec 5, 2019
What makes an AI Coalition necessary? Artificial Intelligence will lead to major new breakthroughs in our society and economy, AI will bring our prosperity and well-being to a higher level and contribute to solving societal challenges. AI reinforces the "winners takes all" phenomenon in a digital and data driven economy. AI asks specific questions about how we realize the technological AI asks specific questions about how we realize the technological potential without compromising public values and fundamental rights. AI requires a joint approach and substantial public and private investments. AI demands collaboration and addressing key assets on European level De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 4 Dec 5, 2019
NL AI Coalition – core values Impact on societal and economical activities Ambitious and action driven by participants No duplication but connecting and strengthening of efforts Innovation in value chains and ecosystems Human centric and responsible AI Human centric and responsible AI Shared learning Open, inclusive and representative (quadruple helix and multidisciplinary) De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 5 Dec 5, 2019
NL AI Coalition – general proposition Innovation through cooperation: • across value chains, in ecosystems • between different interest groups • across multiple fields of expertise This approach leads to: • • acceleration in implementation acceleration in implementation • increased efficiency • accelerated knowledge and experience building • strengthening and utilizing (scarce) resources De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 6 Dec 5, 2019
Netherlands AI Coalition – structure Fields of Energy & Security and Smart industry Health, Care Many more application Sustainability law & Cure to follow enforcement liaisons Building blocks Human Capital Coalition Desk Coalition Desk Operational support Research and Innovation Data access and access Program Team Implementation of action plans Human centric, inclusive and responsible AI Start-ups and Scale-ups Strategy Team governance De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 7 Dec 5, 2019
NL AI Coalition – Building blocks high level overview (1/2) Research & Innovation Human Capital • Development of specific AI knowledge from different • Identify and resolve barriers to AI research disciplines • Link between AI science and application • Developing tools to enable working with AI technologies • • Digital transformation of science itself (data driven) Development, attracting and retaining AI talent • • Life long learning of employees including managers Life long learning of employees including managers • • Application of AI for smart chains and ecosystems Application of AI for smart chains and ecosystems De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 8 Dec 5, 2019
Dutch AI Coalition - Building blocks high level overview (2/2) Data sharing Human centric, inclusive and responsible AI • • Training on responsible data sharing Identify bottlenecks for social acceptance of AI • • Analysis of data sharing problems based on Formulating practical, innovative and widely actual AI cases supported solutions for these bottlenecks. • • Implementation of data sharing solutions Application testing in practical use cases and using field labs. • Connecting with other data sharing initiatives • • Cooperation (national and international) in various Cooperation (national and international) in various application areas for adoption and up scaling Start ups & Scale ups • Access to risk capital • Focus on value increase • Access to datasets • Access to research & innovation ecosystems De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 9 Dec 5, 2019
SURF’s Open Innovation Lab • From 2018-2020 SURF and mininstery of Economic Affairs invested in SURF’s Open Innovation Lab: – Key technologies (quantum computing & networking, unified computing architecture, energy-smart computing, machine learning & AI, …) – Outreach (public-private partnerships): data hubs De Nederlandse AI Coalitie 10 Dec 5, 2019
