How AI is increasingly influencing elections

The development of a national AI Factory in Groningen has taken a major step forward. The Dutch government has committed €70 million, adding to an earlier €60 million pledge from the Northern Netherlands. A request for an additional €70 million in EU funding has been submitted, bringing the total anticipated investment to €200 million.

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Advanced Grants to six researchers at the University of Amsterdam. Each grant, worth up to €2.5 million, supports cutting-edge fundamental research by established scholars with a track record of significant achievements.

The second round of the AiNed InnovationLabs is about to open, presenting an exciting opportunity for organisations across the Netherlands to accelerate AI innovation with financial support, expert guidance, and a strong collaborative network.
