Amsterdam is trying to set a precedent. By developing this register, they're showing national/international policy makers that transparency can be done. Aside from the fact that any level of gov should be open about how technology affects their citizens.

Amsterdam and Helsinki BOTH have developed this register together with Saidot actually. We've build on our work on procurement conditions for AI, defining and operationalizing concepts like technical and procedural transparency (see https://www.amsterdam.nl/wonen-leefomgeving/innovatie/de-dig... at the bottom of the page)

The development of these two registers has been a very deliberate process for both cities, to come up with a register that has technical detail as well as makes the algorithms understandable for the masses. If we can improve in any way, please leave your feedback in the survey, it's most welcome!
