Avv. Alessandro Del Ninno took part as a speaker in the Paradigma workshop entitled “The New Italian Law on Artificial Intelligence”, held on 11 March 2026 and devoted to the analysis of the provisions and government delegations introduced by Italian Law No. 132/2025 on artificial intelligence, as well as to their coordination with the European AI Act. The workshop addressed, from a practical perspective, the general principles of the new legislation, its impact across the main application sectors, and the issues still open in terms of governance, competent authorities and future implementing measures.

During his presentation, Avv. Del Ninno outlined the structure and purpose of Law No. 132/2025, explaining that it does not duplicate the European AI Act, but rather operates as a national framework law based on principles, coordination and delegation, aimed at regulating matters left to Member States and preparing the adjustment of the Italian legal system to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. In this context, he referred to the general principles of transparency, proportionality, security, human oversight, data protection, non-discrimination and explainability of automated decision-making processes.

A central part of the presentation was devoted to the provisions that are already directly applicable, with particular attention to personal data protection, the protection of minors, and the use of AI in intellectual professions, public administration, justice, employment and healthcare. Avv. Del Ninno highlighted, in particular, the new transparency obligations, the importance of meaningful human supervision, the central role of cybersecurity throughout the lifecycle of AI systems, and the practical implications for businesses, professionals and public bodies integrating AI into their organisational and decision-making processes. 

He then addressed the national governance of artificial intelligence, focusing on the role of AgID and ACN as competent national authorities, the coordination with the Italian data protection authority and sector-specific regulators, and the government delegations concerning inspection powers, sanctions, training data, civil and criminal liability, regulatory sandboxes and the use of AI in strategic sectors. Particular attention was also paid to copyright-related issues, especially the interaction between the new Italian law, text and data mining, and the rules applicable to the training of AI systems, including generative AI models.
