On the occasion of the webinar organized by our Firm in collaboration with the Italian-Swedish Chamber of Commerce Assosvezia, several key aspects related to the adoption of artificial intelligence systems in companies were explored together with Alessandro Foti, Jacopo Piemonte, Ugo Romano (CEO of Dyna Brains), Armando Ambrosio, and Massimo Caiazza.

In particular, the discussion focused on:

• Strategies and roadmaps to reduce risks and create value
• Contracts, policies, and governance for responsible AI use
• The interplay between the AI Act and GDPR, with a focus on practical implications for developers and users

On June 5, Armando Ambrosio spoke at the webinar organized by AICE, which focused on the legal aspects related to the purchase of artificial intelligence systems.

The session covered the fundamental principles of the European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence (AI Act) and examined the contractual and organizational implications involved in acquiring AI systems. Special attention was also given to the AI literacy requirement introduced by the AI Act, which will come into force on February 2, 2025.

The goal? To provide companies with practical tools to mitigate risks and ensure legal protection.

On Thursday, May 8, we hosted the event “European Regulation on Artificial Intelligence (AI Act): Where Do We Stand?”, organized by our Firm in collaboration with the Italian-Swedish Chamber of Commerce Assosvezia and Horizon Security.

Speakers Alessandro Foti, Jacopo Piemonte, Massimiliano Luraghi, Fabio Ferraro and Armando Ambrosio explored the main aspects of the AI Act, with a particular focus on the obligations and prohibitions already in force under the regulation.

Two key thematic areas:

• Technical aspects: A closer look at how AI systems actually work, with insights from our partners at @Horizon Security.
• Regulatory compliance: A deep dive into the obligations and prohibitions already in effect, which companies should have already started integrating into their compliance processes.

An article in Fortune Italia explores the so-called "Russia Paradox": while global stock markets wobble under the impact of U.S. tariffs, Moscow holds steady. Interest in the Russian market is growing, including from Italian companies.

On the subject, Armando Ambrosio was interviewed and provided a clear analysis of the current complexities: on one hand, the renewed interest in exports; on the other, the challenges for those who remain or are considering disinvestment.

Exiting Russia is complex today. But staying also requires careful attention to constantly evolving regulations and sanctions: compliance, counter-sanctions, and international payments are just a few of the challenges that need to be managed.

In particular, Ambrosio explains:“It’s not easy to navigate through so many measures, and one must also take into account Russian counter-sanctions, which are often overlooked by Italian operators. Compliance with sanctions is becoming an increasingly complex and difficult matter to manage due to the implementation of new sanction packages that amend and integrate the previous ones”.

Armando Ambrosio further examines in an article on Legalcommunity the prospects for Italian companies in Russia, following the recent decision by the Russian government to return the management of its subsidiary, Ariston Termo Rus, to the Ariston Group.

This move has been welcomed by the Italian business community. However, the geopolitical landscape remains complex, and Italian companies still face significant challenges, particularly in strategic areas such as international payments and dividend repatriation.

Armando explains that the reversal of external management could represent a first step toward normalizing economic relations with Russia, but uncertainties linked to ongoing peace negotiations continue to make the outlook unstable.

The Ariston Group has resumed management of its plant in Russia, which had been temporarily nationalized by the Russian government nearly a year ago. This move marks a significant step toward normalizing economic relations between Russia and the European Union and also offers new opportunities for Italian companies interested in operating in Russia.

Armando Ambrosio, Partner in charge of the Moscow office and the Russia & CIS Desk, explores this development in an article for HuffPost. He analyzes the political and economic implications of this decision, highlighting how Russia aims to reward companies that remained active during the crisis and how this may influence future investment strategies.
