DIMT – The article presents the position of AGCOM (Italy’s Communications Authority) regarding the integration of artificial intelligence in the audiovisual and digital media sectors. AGCOM emphasizes the need for a balanced legal and ethical framework to promote innovation while safeguarding user rights, content quality, and democratic values.

According to AGCOM, the rapid deployment of AI in audiovisual production, distribution, and moderation raises risks such as misinformation, manipulation, and algorithmic opacity. The authority supports the creation of a safe and transparent AI ecosystem, consistent with European strategies like the AI Act and Digital Services Act.

AGCOM proposes governance principles such as accountability, non-discrimination, transparency, and data protection to guide the use of AI in Italy’s media landscape. The article reports that these principles will inform future guidelines and may influence legislative reforms at national and EU levels.
