Altalex reports that artificial intelligence remains marginal in Italian legal practice as of mid-2025. Despite the availability of advanced AI legal tools, Italian lawyers continue to rely on traditional methods due to a mix of skepticism, lack of training, and cultural resistance to automation in legal reasoning.

The article cites surveys and expert opinions showing that very few law firms in Italy have adopted AI for document review, research, or litigation support. Concerns about ethical implications, data security, and professional deontology are cited as key deterrents.

Legal professionals call for structured training programs, clearer ethical guidelines, and national policies to incentivize responsible AI use. Without institutional support and regulatory clarity, the article concludes, AI’s impact on the Italian legal sector is likely to remain limited in the near term.
