This open access book offers a strategic perspective on AI and the process of embedding it in society. After decades of research, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now entering society at large. Due to its general purpose character, AI will change society in multiple, fundamental and unpredictable ways.

This open access book offers a strategic perspective on AI and the process of embedding it in society. After decades of research, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now entering society at large. Due to its general purpose character, AI will change society in multiple, fundamental and unpredictable ways. Therefore, the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) characterizes AI as a system technology: a rare type of technologies that have a systemic impact on society. Earlier system technologies include electricity, the combustion engine and the computer. The history of these technologies provides us with useful insights about what it takes to direct the introduction of AI in society. The WRR identifies five key tasks to structurally work on this process: demystification, contextualisation, engagement, regulation and positioning. By clarifying what AI is (demystification), creating a functional ecosystem (contextualisation), involving diverse stakeholders (engagement), developing directive frameworks (regulation) and engaging internationally (positioning), societies can meaningfully influence how AI settles. Collectively, these activities steer the process of co-development between technology and society, and each representing a different path to safeguard public values. Mission AI - The New System Technology was originally published as an advisory report for the government of the Netherlands. The strategic analysis and the outlined recommendations are, however, relevant to every government and organization that aims to take up 'misson AI' and embed this newest system technology in our world.

Autorenporträt
Corien Prins. Regulatory challenges and questions around the introduction of digital technologies have been on Corien Prins' agenda for three decades. In 1995, she founded what is now the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society-a world-renowned research center on law, society, and technology. In her research on the impact of emerging technologies on individuals and society, she has focused on the role of regulation, law, fundamental values, and human rights. In 2017, Prins was appointed chair of the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), which advises the Dutch government and parliament on strategic issues likely to have significant political and societal consequences. Prins has an abiding interest in the interdependency of the digital and physical worlds. One of her current research foci within the broader theme of artificial intelligence is its use by the judiciary. Here she seeks to understand the implications of using AI for the core values of thejudiciary-impartiality, independence, and due process. Other research topics of Prins relate to the development of legal measures to gain a clearer picture of which parties, digital processes and services are key to the functioning of critical (vital) processes in society. She thereby looks at the chains and networks that support key processes and investigates whether digitalization necessitates changes to the prioritization of assets that are essential for the functioning of a society and economy. Her other research interests include the implications of digital technologies for democracy in a globalized world; the use of digital technologies and personal autonomy; and privacy and personal data protection.
