Abstract
Abilitare l’Ecosistema Digitale con Dati AI Ready: il Modello IT4LIA
IT4LIA AI Factory è un’iniziativa strategica cofinanziata dall’Unione Europea e dal governo italiano che mira a rafforzare l’ecosistema nazionale ed europeo dell’Intelligenza Artificiale attraverso risorse HPC avanzate e un portafoglio di servizi integrati per ricerca, Pubbliche Amministrazioni, imprese e startup. L’iniziativa supporta l’intero ciclo di vita dell’AI: dalla preparazione dei dati all’addestramento dei modelli, ai servizi di inferenza, offrendo supporto end to end, formazione e allineamento all’AI Act. IT4LIA promuove una visione di scienza aperta, favorendo la pubblicazione e il riuso di dataset FAIR tramite il Registro Nazionale dei Dati e sostenendo lo sviluppo di modelli AI open source e conformi alle normative. Per superare una delle principali barriere all’adozione dell’AI (l’accesso a dati coerenti, interoperabili e pronti all’uso) il progetto adotta una strategia di AI Readiness che trasforma dati eterogenei in asset tracciabili e integrabili nei workflow AI. Il Registro, basato su metadati funzionali e tecnici, abilita uno sviluppo più rapido, interoperabile e responsabile di soluzioni AI in diversi domini applicativi.

Abstract
Enabling the Digital Ecosystem with AI-Ready Data: the IT4LIA Model
IT4LIA AI Factory is a strategic initiative co-funded by the European Union and the Italian government, aimed at strengthening the national and European Artificial Intelligence ecosystem through advanced HPC resources and a portfolio of integrated services for research, public administrations, businesses and start-ups. The initiative supports the entire AI lifecycle, from data preparation to model training and inference services, providing end-to-end support, training, and alignment with the AI Act. IT4LIA promotes a vision of open science by encouraging the publication and reuse of FAIR datasets through the National Data Registry, and by supporting the development of open-source, regulation-compliant AI models. To address one of the main barriers to AI adoption—access to consistent, interoperable, and ready-to-use data—the project adopts an AI Readiness strategy that transforms heterogeneous data into traceable assets that can be integrated into AI workflows. The Registry, based on both functional and technical metadata, enables faster, more interoperable, and responsible development of AI solutions across a range of application domains.
