Programs such as chatgpt can help in writing texts, summarizing documents or handling boring chores faster. This saves time and often makes work more fun. The use of AI in the workplace has doubled in the past year, but only 16 percent of the more than a thousand highly educated workers use it daily.

“The Netherlands is leaving a huge economic potential,” says founder Salem Samhoud van & Samhoud in an explanation. “It is not about complex new applications, but about existing technology that is not yet used sufficiently. A complete adoption can already yield our economy 64 billion euros.”
Working with AI can save the government 9 billion euros
Those who do work with AI will win on average 35 minutes a day according to the report. If the Netherlands would do that very working, it would yield 64 billion euros per year. With the government alone, it could save 9 billion euros. “That is three times more than what we take extra to NATO every year,” said Samhoud.

Especially in industry, IT sector and business services, the use of AI is growing hard. But in sectors such as care, education and government, the commitment lags behind. In healthcare, a third of the staff do not know what is and what is not allowed. For the government, one in five officials indicates that the use of AI is prohibited. It is striking that managers use AI much more often than their staff.
Half users positive about AI
The attitude towards AI has changed in the past year. Half of the users are now positive about it, while last year it was 43 percent. A quarter of the respondents are concerned about the impact on their job. “Despite the growth, the Netherlands lags behind the rest of Europe,” said Samhoud.
