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. Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (Digital Omnibus on AI), in force since 27 July 2026, deferred commencement of the AI Act's Annex III high-risk-system rules from 2 August 2026 to 2 December 2027, and deferred the Annex I high-risk rules from 2 August 2027 to 2 August 2028.

Authority designation. Legge 132/2025 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 that law 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. D.Lgs. 160/2026 confirms this allocation, designating AgID as AI Act notifying authority and ACN as market-surveillance authority, with Banca d'Italia, CONSOB and IVASS retaining sectoral competence for high-risk AI in their supervised sectors. The decree further attributes to ACN the inspection and market-surveillance powers under the AI Act and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, acting as the single EU contact point, while AgID remains the notifying authority for conformity-assessment bodies and Banca d'Italia, CONSOB, IVASS and the Garante retain their sectoral supervisory roles. Administrative penalties. Article 99 of the AI Act sets three fine tiers, applying whichever is higher of a fixed sum or a percentage of worldwide turnover: up to EUR 35 million or 7% for breaches of the Article 5 prohibited-practice rules; up to EUR 15 million or 3% for most operator obligations; and up to EUR 7.5 million or 1% for supplying incorrect, incomplete or misleading information to authorities. D.Lgs. 160/2026 implements national fine tiers mirroring Article 99, setting a ceiling of up to EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide turnover for the most serious breaches, while also fixing its own national bands for lesser breaches, such as EUR 1 million or 0.5% of turnover for information duties under Articles 27 and 86, and allowing for non-pecuniary measures. Criminal provisions. Legge 132/2025, at Article 26, introduced two AI-specific criminal provisions. It 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. It also amended Article 2637 of the Codice Civile (aggiotaggio, market manipulation), adding an AI-specific aggravating factor that punishes market manipulation committed through the use of AI systems with imprisonment of two to seven years.
