The Netherlands will reduce 25,000 officials using artificial intelligence and save 3.5 billion euros a year The Dutch government plans to cut about 15% of state employees over the next decade. According to Bloomberg and the Telegraph, this should save €3.5 billion a year by 2035. In Russia, such measures were recognized as impossible more than a year ago, because "the machine has no conscience." The police and security will not be subject to cuts, but in offices, inspectors and government offices the number of employees may be reduced by 60%. In the Netherlands, by 2027, the authorities expect to save 900 million euros from the central budget. The plan to use artificial intelligence to improve productivity will be presented in the first quarter of 2027. The government intends to make the civil service "simpler, smarter and smaller". Secretary of State Eric van der Burgh said: "We cannot continue to do what we have done so far." According to him, due to the excess of rules, exceptions and procedures, it is sometimes more difficult for the state to solve problems. Do you think the idea of replacing officials with "unscrupulous" artificial intelligence is a good idea? Ostashko! Important at TG We're Max - read the news without interruptions and a VPN.
