Highlights
- Italy cracks down on AI related crimes with stricter penalties.
- Italian regulatory authorities rule out a 25-article draft.
- Italy joins the race for ensuring safe and well-regulated use of AI, following the U.S. & U.K.
As the global race for AI paces each day, nations increasingly grapple with the challenges presented by this rapidly emerging dynamic technology. Amid these challenges, Italy’s government marked a significant stride today, pondering stricter penalties for crimes that use AI tools, encompassing market rigging and money laundering activities under its umbrella. This move by Italy further positions the nation among the top pioneers globally that ensure AI’s safe and well-regulated use.
Diving Deep Into Italy’s Scrutinized Approach
In a 25-article draft bill presented today, the Italian regulatory authorities ruled out general principles “on research, experimentation, development, adoption and application” of AI in Italy. According to a report, this is a measure to cope with “the impact of AI risks on fundamental rights,” along with related economic and social risks surrounding the tech.
Notably, the document’s content is still subject to potential adjustments, while it also outlines plans to integrate apt regulated tools into the healthcare and judicial sectors, emphasizing their influence on employment conditions. Further, it lays the foundation for a national AI strategy, ensuring the safe and well-regulated use of AI, as mentioned above.
The draft proposes tougher and heightened penalties for market manipulation using AI tools and specifies that employing AI for money laundering constitutes an aggravating factor nationwide. This further underscores the global necessity for prompt seamless regulations surrounding AI.
