City of Amsterdam

The Municipality of Amsterdam puts AI at the service of the city and its residents. Under the Amsterdam AI Vision, the city focuses on applications such as smart maintenance of street lighting, multilingual access to municipal information, and automated analysis of archives — always with attention to transparency, fair processes, and public engagement.

The city is currently setting up an algorithm register that makes the AI systems used by the municipality transparent: what data is used, how decisions are made, and which people are involved. This helps Amsterdam build greater trust in algorithms.

As a partner of Amsterdam AI, the Municipality of Amsterdam contributes practical insights from policy, governance, and service delivery processes. This ensures that the joint work has not only a technological foundation, but also a strong societal embedding in a city where AI contributes to liveability.
