Italy has enacted a national law regulating artificial intelligence, becoming the first European Union member to do so ahead of the EU AI Act. This legislation, passed by the Senate, focuses on establishing accountability, ethics, and transparency in AI usage across various sectors.

The Italian AI law consists of 28 articles detailing AI usage in different sectors. It mandates parental consent for processing data linked to minors under 14, aiming to ensure fairness and safety in AI systems while allowing companies to innovate responsibly.

The Agency for Digital Italy and the National Cybersecurity Agency are the primary entities responsible for overseeing AI systems. These agencies will conduct inspections and promote secure AI usage. In healthcare, the law permits the use of anonymized patient data for research and imposes penalties for distributing misleading AI-generated images or videos.

Employers are required to inform staff when AI tools are used for management or evaluation purposes. The law emphasizes the importance of privacy and non-discrimination, advising public administrations to use data centers located in Italy for sensitive data.

Main Objectives of Italy's AI Framework

Respect for privacy, human rights, and fairness in AI systems. Comprehensive explanations of algorithmic decision-making processes. Responsible AI development that encourages innovation.

The law will be published in the Italian Official Gazette, with plans to train staff, map AI tools, and ensure compliance. Organizations are expected to establish internal AI policies and monitor supplier systems.

Italy's legislative initiative has attracted attention across Europe, with other governments likely to observe its implementation closely. The framework's sector-specific approach is designed to provide clarity and governance, potentially serving as a model for future AI regulations within the EU and beyond.
