Italian President Sergio Mattarella said that states must regain authority they have lost to private entities in the field of artificial intelligence, according to ANSA.
Speaking on the topic, Mattarella said there is a duty to realize that the future must be handed to new generations, "not machines that steal it from them," ANSA reported.

Further details of the president's remarks, including the occasion and full context of the statement, were not immediately available.
