ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “With the new law on artificial intelligence, promoted by the government and recently approved by Parliament, a specific criminal protection has been introduced for those who suffer the alteration of images or content through technology.” In an interview with Il Secolo d’Italia, the Minister for the Family, the Birth and Equal Opportunities, Eugenia Roccella.
“It’s a very important news – he explains – we will follow the application to verify its operation and evaluate any further interventions.” The ministra then recalls that “the government has had clear from the first day that violence is a real emergency, and that digital technologies are one of the new frontiers. We are carrying out a very important work from the regulatory point of view, the training of operators, the provision of resources, the widespread awareness. The fundamental theme is the recognition of the specificity of violence on women.”.
“Not because it is a more serious violence than others, but because it has its own peculiar connotations that it must be able to identify in order to prevent and repress it effectively. The digital theme has also been among our concerns. In the Caivano decree we have foreseen that the new devices must have already installed to the sale applications of ‘parental control’, which allow parents to monitor times and contents of the online activity of children, and that in the centers for the family mothers and dads are supported in their use. Also in the Caivano decree, a large parliamentary majority has introduced more stringent obligations of verification of the age for access to pornographic sites, the so-called ‘age verification’: together with the Agcom we have followed the application process step by step, in order to avoid problems with Europe where competition rules make quite complicated restrictions of this type, and now that the process is concluded from next 12 November ‘the agenda verification’ in Italy will be a reality”.
