Calling Italy! Bella Italia, the country of innovation and rich history, is also on the fast track to becoming the first in the EU to have its very own national comprehesive AI law, in addition to the upcoming EU AI Act. Italy’s unique positioning means businesses and organizations will need to stay on top of both regulations to ensure compliance. Over the summer, Italy’s AI law made significant progress, moving from the Senate to a dedicated committee for review. Soon, it will return to the Senate for a vote. If passed, the next step will involve approval from the Chamber of Deputies. From there, the law could quickly be enacted, possibly taking effect even before the EU AI Act’s initial provisions kick in. This timeline indicates that businesses in Italy should begin preparing now to navigate this dual-layered regulatory landscape. Both the national and European frameworks are coming, and readiness will be key to staying competitive and compliant in the near future. Now is the time to act, plan, and adjust strategies accordingly. For more details, I've attached a white paper for K-12 schools that considers the current state of AI law in Italy. This paper is also relvant to other school forms, and organizations. The countdown to AI compliance has begun. Link to the Italian Law proposal (in Italian): https://lnkd.in/dXz7d9Tf *** For clarity - this is not an IT or cyber scurity issue. This is about compliance and governance regarding the use of AI within organizations. The upcoming Italian AI law and the EU AI Act are designed to ensure that AI systems are developed and used in accordance with legal, ethical, and regulatory standards. Key areas include transparency, risk management, ethical use, and accountability. Organizations will need to integrate these regulations into their governance frameworks, which involve setting up internal audits, defining roles for AI oversight, and ensuring ethical practices. It’s a regulatory shift, not a technical one - preparation is critical to stay compliant and avoid potential penalties. #AI #Law #Italy #EULaw #TechPolicy #Compliance
