Italy closes antitrust probes into AI firms after commitments on ‘hallucination’ risks

Italy’s antitrust authority said ​on Thursday it ​had closed investigations into three ​AI companies over allegedly unfair commercial practices involving generative artificial intelligence, after accepting binding commitments ‌from them.

The ⁠regulator, ⁠known as the AGCM, also polices consumer ​rights.

It said it had targeted China’s DeepSeek, France’s Mistral AI SAS and Turkey’s Scaleup Yazilim Hizmetleri Anonim Şirketi over risks of so-called AI hallucinations – the ⁠generation of ‌inaccurate or misleading content.
