NewzThe Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante Privacy) has formally requested the strengthening of safeguards regarding biometric data within the framework of the national legislative decree implementing the European Union's AI Act. The Authority identified specific regulatory gaps that require integration to ensure adequate protection for citizens' sensitive information during the deployment of artificial intelligence systems.
This intervention aims to align national implementation measures with the broader privacy standards established by the EU regulation. By proposing these adjustments, the Garante seeks to establish more rigorous oversight mechanisms for the processing of biometric identifiers, emphasizing the need for enhanced legal clarity and security protocols as Italy transitions to the new regulatory environment.
