AIPIA is Italy's premier non-profit association for professionals shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence. We provide leaders and companies from around the world with a unique gateway to the European innovation ecosystem, championing ethical, human-centric AI built on a foundation of Italian excellence.
The EU AI Act is setting the global standard for trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. For companies aiming to operate in Europe, understanding this regulation is critical. As an active member of the European AI Alliance, AIPIA offers exclusive insights and expert guidance, turning regulatory complexity into your strategic advantage.
AIPIA si propone come un autorevole punto di riferimento istituzionale per il mondo dell’AI in Italia. L’Associazione dialoga attivamente con ministeri, enti regolatori, aziende e media, portando la voce dei professionisti dell’Intelligenza Artificiale ai tavoli decisionali dove si disegnano strategie e normative. Grazie alla sua natura indipendente e senza fini di lucro, AIPIA rappresenta con credibilità gli interessi dei suoi associati, contribuendo a definire un quadro di sviluppo dell’AI innovativo ed etico a livello nazionale. In questo ruolo di interlocutore privilegiato, l’Associazione favorisce un confronto costruttivo tra comunità scientifica, imprese e istituzioni, assicurando che le istanze e le competenze dei professionisti AI vengano riconosciute e valorizzate nelle politiche del Paese.
We believe in the power of mutual exchange and continuous updating. AIPIA offers its members constant opportunities for professional growth: we organize workshops, webinars, specialization courses, and meetings with experts to ensure skills are always in step with the evolution of the sector. Our network unites professionals, researchers, and companies from all over Italy, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, the birth of collaborations, and new career opportunities. Through networking events and dedicated online communities, we help those who share a passion for AI to get in touch and build a dynamic and cohesive ecosystem together.
The Association defines clear and rigorous ethical standards, encouraging technological solutions that respect privacy, transparency, and fairness in every project. We emphasize the importance for companies and entities investing in AI to rely on qualified and updated professionals: compliance with the Code of Ethics ensures that every AIPIA member operates with integrity and competence.
AIPIA is present in every corner of Italy thanks to a network of regional representatives and the direct involvement of the Scientific and Technical Committee. The Association is rooted in the territory, promoting local projects and events that respond to the specific needs of each community. From large cities to the most peripheral districts, we listen to local realities to bring training opportunities and AI initiatives wherever they are needed. For AIPIA, innovation can and must start from the territory: this is why we promote synergies with universities, companies, and regional institutions, so as to enhance the talents and excellences present in every area of the country and make the development of AI truly inclusive and widespread.
AIPIA's Scientific Committee is composed of six leading experts in key fields of artificial intelligence, from Machine Learning and Generative AI to Computer Vision and Digital Ethics. As an advisory body, the committee develops guidelines and validates our projects, ensuring that all AIPIA initiatives remain at the forefront of innovation and are aligned with the highest scientific and ethical values of the sector.
