Italian President Sergio Mattarella public addresses

Overview

Italian President Sergio Mattarella has issued several public statements addressing national unity and legislative trends. During the 80th anniversary of the Italian Confederation of Managers and High Professionals (CIDA), Mattarella called for social cohesion and national unity, urging leaders to prioritize human dignity and qualitative growth amidst technological advancements like artificial intelligence. Subsequently, Mattarella expressed concern to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies regarding the proliferation of new national commemorative days. Noting that 51 such days now exist, with a significant portion established during recent legislatures, he urged the parliament to implement more homogeneous criteria for these designations to prevent an excessive number of mandates for public offices and schools. While fulfilling his constitutional duty to sign the law establishing a national day for paper recycling, he issued formal warnings to Senate President Ignazio La Russa and Chamber President Lorenzo Fontana, cautioning that such mandates may create an ‘unrealistic burden on teaching time’. In a recent ceremony at the Quirinale to present the ‘Stelle al merito del lavoro’ (Stars of Merit for Work), Mattarella emphasized the importance of labor as a symbol of human dignity and a vehicle for democracy. He argued that work allows individuals to contribute to the common good and warned against technological shifts that could lead to a loss of freedom. He specifically noted that artificial intelligence must be managed by democratic institutions to serve human well-being rather than becoming a tool for ‘technocratic power driven solely by profit’. Recent discussions have further highlighted the impact of AI on the workforce. While Mattarella continues to urge that the governance of technological transformations remain in human hands to prevent ‘new forms of subordination’, research suggests automation is creating a ‘verification tax’ where professionals must dedicate significant time to checking AI-generated outputs.
