AI development, regulation and adoption in Italy

Overview

Italy continues to integrate artificial intelligence across healthcare, education, and industry. While earlier efforts focused on medical diagnostics, recent developments show a surge in consumer and professional adoption. By August 2026, AI assistants reached 18.9 million unique visitors in Italy, and 46% of adults use AI tools weekly.

In the professional and academic sectors, usage is intensifying. Over 70% of professionals use AI daily, though research indicates AI can introduce recruitment bias. Universities in Brescia and Pavia are establishing guidelines for responsible use in research and pedagogy. In Calabria, the Cal-AI network is standardizing AI training in schools, while the municipality of Albanella plans a specialized technical curriculum for 2026/2027.

Healthcare is seeing structured collaboration through the ‘Rome Declaration of Intent,’ where five major emergency medical services organizations agreed to a ‘shared intelligence’ framework to support medical decision-making. In tourism, operators are using AI to suggest personalized itineraries.

Regulatory and ethical debates have matured. Italy has approved legislative decrees to implement the EU AI Act, designating AgID as the notification authority and ACN as the supervisory authority. These measures introduce regulatory sandboxes and rules for policing. However, experts note a lack of a cohesive industrial strategy regarding supercomputing and manufacturing.

Ethical discussions, involving religious leaders and academics, emphasize a ‘human-centric’ approach to prevent ‘soulless efficientism.’ Concerns have also been raised regarding the impact on minors, with 89% of children aged 9 to 16 using generative AI, prompting calls for increased digital literacy and parental consent.
