Diritto intelligente – Issue N. 11

July 2025 marks a decisive moment in the European regulatory landscape for artificial intelligence. With the EU AI Act beginning its phased application, which will further expand in August, the spotlight turns to one of its most crucial and contentious elements: the definition of high-risk AI systems.

In this issue of Diritto Intelligente, we explore the public consultation launched by the European Commission on high-risk AI, a process that will influence how core obligations under Article 6(2) are applied in practice. The classification of an AI system as “high-risk” will determine the extent of compliance measures – from human oversight and transparency to data governance and post-market controls.

But this month’s edition goes well beyond classification. We dive into the broader AI Continent Action Plan, Europe’s ambitious roadmap to scale AI development responsibly across the Union. We also analyze the upcoming compliance deadlines under the AI Act, helping organizations assess where they stand and what’s urgently required.

From the first copyright-related reference on generative AI before the CJEU, to the democratization of legal data through open-source platforms, and new practical tips on legal design, this issue brings together the most critical legal, strategic, and operational developments shaping the digital transformation of law and technology.

Whether you are a developer, compliance officer, or in-house counsel, one thing is clear: your decisions today will determine your AI readiness tomorrow.
