Government Algorithm Register: requirements, deadlines and compliance actions
Algoritmeregister van de Nederlandse overheid (Government Algorithm Register)
What is Government Algorithm Register?
A public register in which Dutch government organisations describe the algorithms they use that affect citizens: purpose, legal basis, data, human oversight, risks and contact points. Launched in December 2022 and extended since, it aims to make automated decision-making by government transparent and contestable. Ministries were asked to publish all impactful and high-risk algorithms.
Status note: Publication is a government policy commitment for public bodies; a statutory duty is planned in connection with AI Act implementation but not confirmed from an official source.
Who does it apply to?
Public bodies in the Netherlands; no duty on private organisations.
