Why this is on the board
Since February 2026 AI and digitalisation policy has sat with this ministry, and because there is no minister for Digital Affairs, a small team carries that entire portfolio. Whoever helps set the course for AI and data here helps decide on what terms the government hands out support and money. The brief is mainly economic, so how much room there is for safety and public values depends partly on who fills this seat.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
