The article examines how artificial intelligence is impacting Italian company law, focusing on the risks, opportunities, and new challenges facing corporate governance, compliance, and liability. Legal experts analyze how AI systems may influence the responsibilities of directors, the structure of boards, and the definition of due diligence.

It highlights the potential for AI to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and support decision-making in business organizations, but also addresses concerns about transparency, accountability, and the management of algorithmic risks. Italian doctrine is beginning to address the allocation of liability when automated systems are involved in corporate processes.

The author concludes that Italian company law must evolve to provide clear rules for the adoption and control of AI, ensuring that innovation does not compromise corporate responsibility or stakeholder rights.
