The Italian Senate has definitively approved the new AI framework law.
Key developments also affect copyright:
- works created with the aid of AI tools are protected if they represent the outcome of human intellectual effort (amendment to Article 1 of the Italian Copyright Act);
- a new Article 70-septies regulates reproductions and extractions of works and materials for text and data mining by AI systems.
An important step towards a legal framework that balances technological innovation with the protection of rights.
