With judgment no. 5635 of 3 June 2024, the “Enterprise A” Chamber of the Court of Milan ruled on the subject of copyright on so-called ‘simple’ (non-creative) photographs available and accessible on the internet. In particular, it stated that these photographs, except in cases of bad faith, can be used freely and without authorisation by the people who found them, if they lack the indications prescribed by Article 90 of the Italian Copyright Law (no. 633/1941, ICL).

On 23 April 2024, the government approved a draft law to introduce provisions on artificial intelligence (AI). The draft law emphasises that the lifecycle of AI systems and models must respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals enshrined in Italian and European law.
