The new AI regulations demonstrate excessive government overreach that will stifle innovation and technological competitiveness. Prison sentences for AI content creation establish dangerous precedents for criminalizing technology use, while bureaucratic oversight requirements will burden businesses with compliance costs. The 1 billion euro investment pales compared to US and Chinese AI spending, ensuring Italy falls further behind globally.
