Italy has taken a significant step in the global race to regulate artificial intelligence, becoming the first European country to implement a comprehensive national framework designed to align with the European Union’s AI Act while addressing the specific needs of its own institutions, businesses, schools, and public services.
The Italian government has approved two major implementing decrees that translate the principles of the EU AI Act into practical national rules. The measures establish governance structures, define responsibilities, regulate the use of AI in sensitive sectors, and invest heavily in education and workforce development.
