AI governance and human responsibility discussions

Overview

Discussions regarding the governance of artificial intelligence and the preservation of human agency have been highlighted through various events in Italy. In Pompeii, the second edition of the ‘Human driven Ai summit’ focused on the rapid transformation of technology and its impact on legal, medical, and industrial sectors. Following this, an event in Matera titled ‘The Challenge of Thinking Machines’ examined the relationship between AI and individual importance.

Academic and professional forums across Italy, including LUMSA University and the University of Udine, have expanded these debates to include ethical, social, and psychological implications, such as the risk of emotional dependency and simulated empathy. In the professional sphere, the Order of Accountants emphasized that algorithms should assist rather than replace professional judgment.

Recent data and reports indicate that these technological shifts are manifesting in specific sectoral risks and investments. In cybersecurity, a Semperis report highlights a psychological evolution in ransomware attacks, noting that criminals use AI for psychological intimidation. Approximately 25% of global attacks involve such tactics, with 53% of those threats targeting employees and their families.

In healthcare, digital health spending in Italy reached 2.7 billion euros in 2025, with investments in AI and analytics growing by nearly 90% over three years; however, a training gap remains, as only 30% of doctors report receiving AI training. Legislative efforts continue to evolve, with Italian officials noting specific laws regarding deepfakes while the European Union maintains its role in AI regulation. Ongoing forums in cities like Catania, Palermo, and Milan continue to address risks such as ‘hallucinations’ in legal contexts.
