Italy is in the front line in
supporting approval of a comprehensive law regulating use of
artificial intelligence in the European Union, Deputy Premier
and foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Friday.
"The government is at the forefront in supporting the approval
of the Artificial Intelligence Act," said Tajani at the first
edition of the ComoLake Next Generation Innovations conference
in Cernobbio.
It will guarantee "the reliable use of this important family of
cutting-edge technologies, which are destined to make an
extraordinary contribution to the productivity and economic
growth of our productive fabric of over 4 million small and
medium-sized enterprises," he continued, adding that innovation
and frontier technologies "are among the priority themes of our
growth diplomacy and will also be part of the topics that our G7
presidency will address in 2024".
Italy is set to chair the Group of 7 next year, and will host
the summit in Puglia.
"We believe that the development of innovation and frontier
technologies also has important repercussions on political and
economic relations between states," said the foreign minister.
"In the face of these challenges, the government intends to
pursue an inclusive and choral action, valuing all the actors
involved, starting with companies, researchers, and developers"
in order to "draw up a dynamic regulation", he concluded.
