AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (In force since 2024-08-01).

Italy's AI governance architecture rests on direct application of the AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), in force in Italy since 1 August 2024 and amended by the Digital Omnibus on AI, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, together with Italy's national framework statute, Legge 23 settembre 2025, n. 132, which entered into force on 10 October 2025 and designates the Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale (AgID) and the Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale (ACN) as Italy's national AI authorities.

Article 20 of Legge 132/2025 assigns AgID the role of AI Act notifying authority and gives ACN the roles of market-surveillance authority, single EU contact point and inspection/sanctioning authority, without prejudice to Banca d'Italia, CONSOB and IVASS continuing as sectoral market-surveillance authorities in their supervised sectors. The implementing decree, D.Lgs. 160/2026, confirms this allocation, naming AgID as the AI Act notifying authority and ACN as market-surveillance authority, with Banca d'Italia, CONSOB and IVASS retaining sectoral competence for high-risk AI within their supervised sectors.

Digital Omnibus on AI, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (In force since 2026-07-27).

Standing sub-brief · as of 12 Nov 2026 96 words · last cycle 12 Nov 2026 · AI research, not expert reviewed

Italy's prohibited-practices position combines the AI Act's Article 5 prohibited-practice regime, now running on the timetable set by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (Digital Omnibus on AI), with a standing national prohibition specific to Italy.

The Digital Omnibus, in force since 27 July 2026, deferred the AI Act's Annex III high-risk-system rules to 2 December 2027 and the Annex I high-risk rules to 2 August 2028. Separately, Italy's national moratorium on facial-recognition video surveillance in public and publicly accessible spaces has been extended to 31 December 2027, maintaining a domestic restriction that operates alongside the EU-level prohibited-practice regime.

Providers of general-purpose AI models placed on the market in Italy are bound directly by Article 53 of the AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). That provision requires GPAI model providers to prepare and maintain technical documentation, provide downstream deployers with the information needed for their own AI Act compliance, adopt a policy to comply with EU copyright law, and publish a sufficiently detailed summary of the content used to train the model.

These obligations apply directly in Italy as part of the AI Act's EU-wide regime; no separate national GPAI-specific instrument is recorded in the current standing position.

Legge 23 settembre 2025, n. 132, in force since 10 October 2025, provides Italy's binding transparency regime for synthetic content and AI-assisted professional work.

Article 26 of the law inserted a new Article 612-quater into the Codice Penale, punishing with imprisonment of one to five years anyone who causes unjust harm by distributing, without consent, AI-generated or altered deepfake images, videos or voices suitable to mislead about their genuineness.

Separately, Article 13 of Legge 132/2025 permits licensed intellectual professionals in Italy to use AI systems for instrumental and support activities, provided that human intellectual work remains predominant and the professional clearly discloses to the client the AI systems used.
