AI and the Board Within Italian Corporate Law: Preliminary Notes
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (hereafter: AI) is transforming our everyday life in many important respects. The corporate realm is no exception. Many corporations cannot avoid facing the variety of issues raised by the increasing importance that AI plays within firms. Can an AIbased system be appointed as a board member? Can boards delegate specific tasks to AI-based systems? What are the implications and consequences of AI-involvement when designing the corporate structure? How does the choice to resort to, or to depart from the suggestions of an AI-based system expose, eliminate, or alleviate directorial liability? After a general discussion of AI and its projected use in the corporate context, this article aims to address, in a preliminary fashion, these basic questions within the framework of Italian corporate law.

The use of AI would tackle problems such as 'choice overload' or 'analysis paralysis', where the excess of available information is overwhelming due to a large number of potential outcomes and the inherent risks and directors cannot give a swift response.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
