Italian DPA issues first draft guidelines for AI systems in legal services, focusing on data processing impact assessments and human oversight requirements ahead of EU AI Act enforcement.
Why It Matters
Forget 'playing around' with AI. The EU AI Act isn't a suggestion; national DPAs are now showing *how* it will be enforced. If you use AI for legal tasks, expect to prove human oversight and show your data processing impact assessments. Your 'easy button' AI tools likely don't cover this. Time to get serious about compliance, not just features.
What To Do About It
I can help your firm audit existing AI use, identify high-risk areas, and establish compliant human oversight workflows using your current Microsoft 365 environment, preparing you for DPA scrutiny before August 2026. This isn't theoretical; it's practical implementation.
