The Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) identifies five key tasks to structurally work on the introduction of AI in society, including demystification, contextualization, engagement, regulation, and positioning. These activities steer the process of co-development between technology and society and safeguard public values.

This comprehensive open-access book provides a strategic outlook on artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into society. After decades of relentless research, AI has finally begun to permeate various aspects of our lives. Due to its versatile nature, AI is poised to profoundly transform society in numerous, fundamental, and unforeseen ways. Consequently, the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) has categorized AI as a system technology, a rare category of innovations that exert a systemic influence on society. Similar to earlier system technologies such as electricity, the combustion engine, and the computer, the history of these advancements offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with introducing AI into our communities.

The WRR identifies five critical tasks to systematically navigate this process: demystification, contextualization, engagement, regulation, and positioning. By elucidating the true nature of AI (demystification), fostering a functional ecosystem (contextualization), involving a diverse range of stakeholders (engagement), developing guiding frameworks (regulation), and engaging internationally (positioning), societies can exert meaningful influence over how AI unfolds. Collectively, these endeavors steer the process of co-development between technology and society, each representing a distinct pathway to safeguard public values.

Mission AI: The New System Technology was initially conceived as an advisory report for the government of the Netherlands. However, the strategic analysis and the outlined recommendations hold immense relevance for all governments and organizations seeking to embrace the mission of AI and seamlessly embed this cutting-edge system technology into our world.
