Italy D.Lgs. 179/2026
Second of the two legislative decrees implementing Italy's AI law (Law 132/2025).

Italy D.Lgs. 160/2026
First of two legislative decrees implementing Italy's AI law (Law 132/2025) and adapting national law to the EU AI Act. Title I sets the first organic rules for police use of AI systems on a human-oversight basis, including exceptional, time-limited and judicially authorised real-time biometric identification and a ban on biometric databases built by untargeted mass scraping of the web. Title II introduces Penal Code Article 437-bis, punishing failure to adopt security measures in high-risk AI systems and their unlawful alteration, and gives claimants procedural tools for damages caused by AI systems: access to the system's technical documentation, a presumption of causal link, an alternative forum near the claimant's residence and direct action against the insurer.
Poland AI Systems Act
Polish national law implementing the EU AI Act. It creates the Komisja Rozwoju i Bezpieczeństwa Sztucznej Inteligencji (KRiBSI, AI Development and Safety Commission) as market surveillance authority and single point of contact, and sets the procedure for inspections, enforcement proceedings and administrative fines for breaches of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.
CA SB 503
Requires developers and deployers of AI clinical decision support systems used by health facilities, clinics and physician practices to make reasonable efforts to identify systems with a known or reasonably foreseeable risk of biased impacts on people with protected characteristics. Developers must mitigate those risks and give deployers an intended-use and risk statement plus documentation on training data, evaluation and data governance; deployers must regularly monitor the systems and mitigate.
