The article specifically examines the AI Act by analysing its objective, subjective and territorial scope. After an examination of the actors involved, dwelling on all the actors mentioned in the Regulation, the risk-based approach of AI systems and models is analysed, and the specific obligations of the actors along the AI chain of responsibility are outlined. Particular emphasis is then placed on the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) and the ethical and legal challenges posed by generative AI, emphasising the need for an anthropocentric approach and governance that safeguards human rights in the digital age. Finally, the contribution also reflects on the role of AI in democratic life and its influence on information and political power.

Abstract
The article specifically examines the AI Act by analysing its objective, subjective and territorial scope. After an examination of the actors involved, dwelling on all the actors mentioned in the Regulation, the risk-based approach of AI systems and models is analysed, and the specific obligations of the actors along the AI chain of responsibility are outlined. Particular emphasis is then placed on the Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) and the ethical and legal challenges posed by generative AI, emphasising the need for an anthropocentric approach and governance that safeguards human rights in the digital age. Finally, the contribution also reflects on the role of AI in democratic life and its influence on information and political power.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
