Italy AI rollout amid governance, security and EU trends

Entities: AI Act · Francesco Giorgono · European Union · Elly Schlein · Giorgia Meloni

Overview

Italian firms continue to scale AI use, with a ServiceNow study reporting a 104 % rise in AI spending and 63 % of companies deploying agentic AI solutions. The enterprise AI maturity index climbed to 54, yet only 10 % have built autonomous processes and 25 % conduct testing or auditing, underscoring persistent governance gaps. The regulator AGCOM warned that AI‑driven recommendation, search‑engine ranking and generative‑summary tools threaten news pluralism. Following a federation complaint, AGCOM has asked the European Commission to review Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode under the Digital Services Act and has created a standing forum with platforms and Italian publishers. The regulator’s 2026 report also noted the launch of Malpensa24 TV, reinforcing the push for local, ethical journalism. Security risks remain acute. Kaspersky recorded over 33 300 AI‑tool malware attacks on SMBs worldwide between January and April 2026, a five‑fold rise year‑on‑year, with fake ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek binaries accounting for most infections. A new ESET‑WatchGuard‑Cofense study shows 45 % of SMEs suffered a cyber incident in the past year, 75 % of organisations experienced a breach, and AI‑accelerated phishing now lands every 19 seconds. Gaps in detection persist, prompting calls for strategic, business‑wide cyber‑resilience. Domestically, Italian legal firms are adjusting to AI law 132/2025, requiring transparent governance and client disclosure. In healthcare, 88 % of IT leaders say infrastructure is unready for on‑premise AI, 79 % report shadow‑AI use and 83 % flag related security risks. A July 2026 study highlighted that data‑streaming platforms are now seen as more strategic than AI models, while sustainability and zero‑trust security are flagged as essential foundations for further rollout. New evidence shows AI adoption is also shaping workplace wellbeing.
