This open access book offers a strategic perspective on AI and the process of embedding it in society. After decades of research, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now entering society at large. Due to its general purpose character, AI will change society in multiple, fundamental and unpredictable ways. Therefore, the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) characterizes AI as a system technology: a rare type of technologies that have a systemic impact on society. Earlier system technologies include electricity, the combustion engine and the computer. The history of these technologies provides us with useful insights about what it takes to direct the introduction of AI in society. The WRR identifies five key tasks to structurally work on this process: demystification, contextualisation, engagement, regulation and positioning. By clarifying what AI is (demystification), creating a functional ecosystem (contextualisation), involving diverse stakeholders (engagement), developing directive frameworks (regulation) and engaging internationally (positioning), societies can meaningfully influence how AI settles. Collectively, these activities steer the process of co-development between technology and society, and each representing a different path to safeguard public values. Mission AI - The New System Technology was originally published as an advisory report for the government of the Netherlands. The strategic analysis and the outlined recommendations are, however, relevant to every government and organization that aims to take up 'misson AI' and embed this newest system technology in our world.

This open access book provides a unique and incisive analysis of the shifting dynamics in the international order, exploring a threefold fragmentation—of power centres, geopolitical arenas, and global worldviews.Through the lens of a carefully developed triad framework—focusing on security, prosperity, and values—it equips policymakers with an instrument to navigate the complex and often difficult trade-offs that arise in a world characterized by multipolarisation. While the erosion of the international order is often seen as a challenge from a Western perspective, this book also acknowledges why actors in other regions may perceive it as an opportunity to expand their influence on the global stage.The authors, all affiliated with the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), provide a nuanced assessment of these evolving power shifts and conclude with actionable policy recommendations for effectively engaging with the multipolar world—both by mitigating risks and by seizing new opportunities for cooperation and alliance-building. Essential reading for policymakers in the EU and its member states, this book is equally relevant to scholars, students, and anyone with a keen interest in international relations and global governance.
