Italy has enacted laws and/or issued guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Companies subject to Italian laws and regulations should be familiar with all relevant AI-related laws, regulations, and guidance, including those listed below.
The AI Act establishes harmonized rules for placing on the market, putting into service, and using artificial intelligence systems (“AI Systems”) in the European Union. It prohibits certain AI practices and establishes specific requirements for high-risk AI Systems and operators of such systems, rules on market monitoring, market surveillance governance and enforcement, and measures to support innovation, with a particular focus on SMEs, including start-ups.
The Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, the Italian data protection authority, published a document setting forth ten basic principles to be followed by the national healthcare system when using AI.
