From 2 August 2026 many of the obligations of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, the AI Act, become applicable, backed by a system of supervision and penalties.
Those who use generative artificial intelligence tools are accountable for data confidentiality, the traceability of sources and the accuracy of results. Internal governance is needed, coordinated with the GDPR and, in the public sector, with procurement rules and the guidelines of AgID (the Agency for Digital Italy).
