Italy moves ahead on AI and right to information, rest of Europe should follow suit
- As Europe approaches elections, Italy is working on a bill for regulating the development and use of artificial intelligence
- A provisional version of this bill, which was initiated by the government, was published at the start of the April.
- It establishes principles for financing and supervising AI in many areas including health, employment, education and research, copyright and national security.
- But it is on protecting the right to information that, at this stage, the bill is most ambitious.
- It aims to require AI systems to respect the integrity and pluralism of information, and provides criminal sanctions for the publication of deepfakes that harm others.
