Italian AI Act enforcement now has a complete institutional machine behind it, because the second implementing law that Italy published on 8 October 2026 in the Italian Official Journal designates the authorities that will inspect and sanction, fixes the level of the fines, opens a national regulatory sandbox and restricts the use of artificial intelligence in decisions affecting employees.
The AI Act transparency obligations finally have their rulebook: on 20 July 2026, the European Commission published the final guidelines on the implementation of Article 50 of the AI Act. Thirteen days before 2 August 2026 when the relevant provisions of the EU AI Act become applicable.
The European Parliament committees IMCO and LIBE have now formally supported the postponement of certain obligations under the EU AI Act, according to the latest official press release.
