IT Home reported on October 27 that, according to Bloomberg, the Dutch government has announced a major push to use AI to improve administrative efficiency. It plans to gradually cut 25,000 government jobs, about 16% of its workforce, with the ultimate aim of saving €3.5 billion (IT Home note: approximately 26.152 billion yuan at the current exchange rate).
According to the report, the Dutch government hopes to use AI to improve efficiency and raise productivity by 20%. It also plans to streamline regulations to reduce the government's workload and has already set a target of abolishing or simplifying 500 regulations each year.
The Dutch government will also require two employees to share one desk in the future. It will sell unused office buildings and standardize its IT systems. The job cuts will not affect police or defense positions, but standing advisory committees and advisory bodies are not exempt.
The Dutch government has previously passed several motions related to using AI to increase productivity and will continue efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency. By the end of 2025, the number of Dutch central government employees had reached 160,000, up 41% from 2018.
