Proposal Dutch regulatory sandbox
The AI Act requires Member States to establish at least one AI regulatory sandbox from August 2026. Within a regulatory sandbox, supervisors provide support to providers of AI systems who, during development, experience difficulties with how they can comply with the AI Act; ensuring that they can place their product on the EU market in accordance with the AI Act.
This document is a proposal for the Dutch implementation on the regulatory sandbox, published on behalf of the Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur (RDI, the Dutch authority for digital infrastructure) and the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP, the Dutch data protection authority).
It is the result of an intensive collaboration between various supervisory authorities and ministries, under the coordination of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (EZ), the AP and the RDI. The aim of this proposal is to provide a solid basis for the further collaboration and alignment needed to launch a final sandbox by August 2026, or earlier.
