Generative AI has quickly integrated into all levels of government. Ministries, executive agencies, provinces, and municipalities are all exploring its potential. In many places, AI applications are emerging. While this yields valuable insights, it also leads to fragmentation. Organisations face similar legal and technical challenges and often develop solutions that already exist elsewhere.
The sAIdkick programme brings clarity and coherence to this development, gradually working towards a government-wide marketplace for generative AI, set to launch in 2027. This platform will centralise applications, building blocks, and practical knowledge. Solutions developed in one place can be used directly elsewhere, accelerating AI deployment and preventing organisations from starting from scratch time and again.
A single hub for applications and expertise
The marketplace offers more than technical solutions. It will also feature tools to support implementation, including step-by-step guides, guidelines, and real-world examples. Over the coming years, the marketplace will be further developed and expanded.
Organisations engaging with sAIdkick will find:
- AI applications already in use
- Building blocks for developing solutions further
- Practical tools for safe and responsible deployment
Thriving community
A marketplace only works if people actively contribute. That’s why sAIdkick is building a community of professionals within government. Here, AI leads, project managers, and specialists share their experiences, discuss practical challenges, and showcase what works. Nearly 100 organisations have already joined. This community is the driving force behind the marketplace, where applications, insights, and collaborations emerge before being integrated into the platform.
What are the benefits?
By collaborating and sharing knowledge:
- Organisations avoid reinventing the wheel.
- Proven solutions become available sooner.
- The quality of applications will improve.
- It becomes easier to comply with rules and requirements.
This paves the way for a government that deploys generative AI in a collaborative, responsible, and sustainable manner.
How to get involved
The sAIdkick community welcomes professionals who wish to contribute ideas, share knowledge, and learn from others. You can sign up by emailing rvihh.saidkick@minbzk.nl.
AI is evolving at pace, so every 2 weeks, the AI Radar provides an overview of relevant developments both within and outside government. You can subscribe via sAIdkick Radar | Rijksorganisatie voor Informatiehuishouding (Dutch).
