The Dutch government is preparing an efficiency overhaul that will rely in part on artificial intelligence and could eliminate about 25,000 civil service positions over the coming years, according to Bloomberg. The Dutch cabinet plans to present a detailed proposal early next year outlining how AI will be used to improve workplace efficiency across government operations. The savings target is set at 900 million euros a year by 2027, with annual savings rising to 3.5 billion euros from 2035, or about $3.9 billion. Bloomberg also reported that the number of Dutch civil servants reached about 160,000 by the end of 2025, up 41% from 2018. The report frames the staffing cuts as part of a broader effort to improve efficiency through technology and other measures.
