Artificial intelligence in everyday life: the view from Meta Italia

Published 2026-10-30

Artificial intelligence is increasingly present in the everyday lives of Italians. The newspaper Il Foglio interviewed Angelo Mazzetti, Director of Institutional Relations at Meta in Italy, to understand how to navigate between two very different positions: on one side, the dystopian view, which sees technology as a threat, and on the other, the entirely positive view, which considers it a solution to almost all problems.

In the interview, Mazzetti discusses the role that technology companies play in developing these tools and the need for constant dialogue with institutions. According to the executive, it is important that the use of AI be accompanied by clear rules and accurate information, so that citizens, businesses and schools can use these technologies in an informed way.

The topic is particularly timely in Italy, where the debate on artificial intelligence involves the political world, the education system and the labour market. Digital platforms, which are used by millions of people every day, are at the centre of many discussions on privacy, security and transparency.

The interview therefore offers a look from within a major technology company on an issue that affects everyone's life closely. The question of what balance Italian institutions, businesses and citizens will find in the coming years remains open.
