II. Full Description

*Source file:* IT - AGID - Strategia_italiana_per_l_Intelligenza_artificiale_2024-2026.pdf This strategy document sets out a national roadmap for AI (2024–2026). It discusses how the EU AI Act implies two major national functions—market surveillance and notification—and considers how Italy could implement these functions institutionally. It also addresses broader ecosystem needs such as support to those developing/distributing/implementing AI, alignment with existing sector regulators (e.g., data protection, competition, digital services, financial oversight), and capability-building. As a strategy, it is not drafted as a binding instrument with sanctions; it is intended to guide coordinated action and institutional choices.

It discusses the regulatory landscape (including the EU AI Act) and the role of national-level regulatory functions such as market surveillance and notification. It is policy/strategy-oriented and does not operate as a binding legal act by itself.
