AIPIA — Italian AI Professionals Association
European Commission

Accredited member of the European AI Alliance

AIPIA holds active membership in the European AI Alliance — the European Commission's official multi-stakeholder forum on artificial intelligence. The accreditation gives AIPIA a recognised voice in EU AI policy and direct working channels with the Commission, the European AI Office, and partner European associations.

Why this matters

A seat at the table where EU AI policy is written

The European Union has positioned itself as the world's leading AI regulator. The AI Act, the GPAI Codes of Practice, the European AI Office, the European Artificial Intelligence Board, and the AI Pact form a layered governance architecture unmatched anywhere else. AIPIA's accreditation places it inside that architecture rather than outside it.

The European AI Alliance was launched by the Commission in 2018 as an open forum gathering industry, academia, civil society, and policymakers. It feeds expert input into the High-Level Expert Group on AI and, today, into the AI Act's implementation. Membership is open but accreditation requires a verified institutional identity and a substantive contribution to the AI policy conversation.

For AIPIA members, the accreditation translates into operational benefits: early visibility on emerging guidance, channels to submit working-group positions to the Commission, and credible representation in front of national regulators applying the AI Act on the ground.

Working channels

How AIPIA engages with the EU institutions

European AI Alliance

Multi-stakeholder forum launched by the European Commission in 2018 alongside the High-Level Expert Group on AI. AIPIA is a registered member. The Alliance feeds expert input into EU policy on AI strategy, regulation, and ethics.

AI Act consultations

AIPIA participates in Commission consultations on AI Act implementation: delegated acts, technical standards, codes of practice, and guidance documents. Submissions are peer-reviewed by the CTS and published openly when permitted.

GPAI Codes of Practice

AIPIA contributes to the Codes of Practice developed under Article 56 of the AI Act for general-purpose AI model providers. The codes operationalise GPAI obligations until harmonised standards are available.

European AI Office liaison

The European AI Office — established within the Commission to enforce the AI Act for GPAI and coordinate national authorities — is a primary interlocutor. AIPIA briefs members on AI Office guidance within ten working days of publication.
