Getting ahead on national AI adoption and innovation takes hard work. Falling behind could take only a moment of hesitation. This is the warning from Google based on our new study on the economic potential of generative AI in the Netherlands, conducted by our team in Implement Consulting Group. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟: The Netherlands has consistently led AI adoption and development within Europe. Consequently, The Netherlands is well placed to capture the benefits of the new wave of AI. Our analysis identifies that generative AI could boost the Netherlands' GDP by €80-85 billion over the next ten years, assuming widespread adoption. This represents a potential increase of up to 9% in GDP. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗞: However, capturing these potentials will require further action. A delay in adopting and developing generative AI could significantly reduce its economic benefits—from a potential 9% increase in GDP to just 2%. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: To fully capture AI's potential, strategic policy initiatives must be implemented. Recommendations for the Netherlands include: ⚡ Enhance AI research and development: Increase investment in AI research and foster innovation ecosystems by supporting public-private partnerships and academia-industry collaborations. ⚡ Upskill and reskill the workforce: Implement robust programs to upskill and reskill the workforce, especially targeting sectors and jobs most susceptible to transformation or displacement by AI technologies. ⚡ Strengthen AI infrastructure and accessibility: Invest even in digital infrastructure to support AI technologies, ensuring that advanced computational resources are accessible to businesses of all sizes, including startups and SMEs.
