Abstract
The transformative impact of AI on organizations is becoming more apparent, as organizations are required to develop new capabilities to deal with the challenges that come with the implementation of AI. Recent developments within the legal field add to these challenges, as public organizations in The Netherlands will be required by mandate to publish information about their use of algorithms to the public. The lack of scientific attention, combined with the lack of governmental guidance, further complicates the implementation of algorithm registers for organizations. We conducted six case studies at public organizations to assess the internal impact of the algorithm register on these organizations. Based on these case studies, we propose a reference process for the implementation of algorithm registers. Additionally, we provide a refined definition on algorithm registers that more accurately reflects its possible contributions towards current challenges in the fields of AI Innovation, AI governance and responsible AI.
