Italy designs national framework to operationalise EU AI Act
Italy has established a national framework for artificial intelligence to operationalise the EU AI Act and distribute responsibilities among its regulatory authorities.
What happened?
Italy has established a national framework for artificial intelligence designed to operationalise the requirements of the EU AI Act. The new framework sets out the distribution of responsibilities between national regulatory authorities and how compliance and oversight of AI systems will be handled within the country. The legislation defines local supervisory bodies and mechanisms for the enforcement of the EU regulation's rules.

Why it matters
EU regulations apply directly in all member states, but often require supplementary national legislation to appoint regulatory authorities, determine sanctions, and build administrative capacity. Italy’s legislation clarifies how practical supervision will be carried out at the national level as the EU AI Act is phased in.
Who is affected?
The framework directly affects companies and developers who provide or use AI systems in the Italian market. It also impacts public authorities and legal entities responsible for compliance with the EU regulation's requirements regarding risk classification and transparency.
Impact on the EU
Italy’s new legislation is based directly on the EU AI Act and demonstrates how EU member states must now practically incorporate the regulation's overarching requirements into their respective national legal systems. The Italian model aligns administrative oversight structures with union law.
What else you should know
The implementation follows a period during which Italian authorities, including the national data protection authority Garante, have taken an active role in the scrutiny of AI services and have set high demands for regulatory compliance.
