Italy is stepping forward with an initiative to shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI) within its borders through the Italian Strategy on AI for 2024–2026, alongside a draft law on AI. These efforts aim to ensure that AI development and use are transparent and beneficial to society, in line with global standards like the OECD AI Principles, which emphasise respect for human autonomy and decision-making.
The strategy and draft law, prepared by Digital Italy (AGID) and the Department for Digital Transformation, target four main sectors: Scientific Research, Public Administration, Enterprises, and Education. The strategy aims to enhance the AI research ecosystem, fostering collaboration between universities, research centers, and ICT companies.
