AI, in the open

This site is written with the help of artificial intelligence. We say so here in full, and at the foot of every text in one line: “Drafted with AI assistance”, followed by who checked it and when. The rule comes from article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 on artificial intelligence and from the Italian law that accompanies it (Law 132/2025): readers must know when content has been generated or altered by an automated system.

The guides on this site are made like this:

1. The draft is written by a language model, starting from primary sources: laws in their current text on Normattiva and Lexview, the pages of public bodies, published data with their dates.
2. The adversarial check: a second pass, separate from the first, reopens the sources and looks for errors statement by statement. What does not hold is corrected; what cannot be verified stays in the text with the caveat spelled out in words (“to be verified”, “not verified”, “secondary source”), and is never passed off as certain.
3. The figures are not written by hand: each one sits in a register with its source, the date it was read and its scope, and the page shows it with the source's initials beside it.
4. The second legal reading of the legal and tax guides is, today, carried out by an AI agent and recorded against the fingerprint of the text it read: if the text changes by so much as a comma, the reading no longer counts and the guide is withdrawn until it has been read again.

The guides have not been reviewed by a notary, a lawyer or an accountant. When they are, the guide's page will say so with the professional's category, never their name, and the table below will change by itself. That is why every guide ends with the words: “This is guidance, not advice.”

The table is generated from the texts on the site, not written by hand: for each text and each language, whether it is written, when it was checked, and who reviewed it.

The English, German and Slovenian editions are written for the people who read them, not translated line by line, and they too are drafted with the help of artificial intelligence. This English edition was written by an AI agent working in British English from the verified Italian edition, with the same facts and the same figures; no person has yet reviewed it as a native speaker. The German and Slovenian editions are reviewed by native-language AI agents: until the register says otherwise, we do not claim that a person has reviewed them. We reply in Italian and in English.

Every image or video generated or altered with artificial intelligence carries on this site the “AI” mark, a caption saying what was changed, and a line on this page. We do not generate images of buildings, interiors, people or infrastructure, and no generated image appears in the first screen of any page.

There is no automated assistant and no chat on this site: whoever writes from its pages writes to the agency. What happens to the enquiry afterwards, and what the agency's system does and does not do with the data, is set out in the privacy notice.
