Article 20 designates the Agenzia per l'Italia digitale (AgID) and the Agenzia per la cybersicurezza nazionale (ACN) as Italy's national AI authorities, without displacing the Bank of Italy's, CONSOB's and IVASS's existing sector market-surveillance roles under EU AI Act Article 74(6) (comma 1).
AgID is responsible for promoting AI innovation and development and for defining the procedures and exercising the functions for notifying, assessing, accrediting and monitoring the bodies charged with verifying AI systems' conformity (comma 1, lettera a); ACN is responsible for supervising AI systems, including inspection and sanctioning activities, for cybersecurity compliance, and for promoting AI development on cybersecurity aspects (comma 1, lettera b); the two agencies jointly establish and manage AI regulatory-sandbox spaces, consulting the Ministry of Defence on dual-use AI and the Ministry of Justice on AI used in judicial activity (comma 1, lettera c).
