Why this is on the board
Whoever now writes the curriculum for the new bachelor's programme Data Science in Militaire Operaties helps decide what a generation of officers learns about what AI can and cannot do — and so how critically they will question AI advice before a decision with serious consequences is taken. Those lessons will stay in use for years, though you are one voice within a large organisation.

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.
