AccademIAAI for Schools and Universities
The AI tools that genuinely help students and teachers, from lower secondary school to university. For each one: what it really costs, from what age you can use it, where your data ends up.
We checked each one on the provider’s own pages on 22 October 2026. 🔎 marks the tools designed to keep hallucinations to a minimum: they answer by citing sources, or work only on your own materials. Always double-check what an AI writes.

Are you a school?
Three Italian rules change how AI is used in the classroom. Here is what they actually ask, without the scaremongering.
- DM 166/2025
Today’s guidelines
- A data protection impact assessment (DPIA) before using a tool with students’ data.
- A privacy notice for families and, for under-14s, parental consent.
- Prompts without personal data, and tools that do not keep conversations.
- A staff training plan, included in the school’s three-year plan (PTOF).
- D.Lgs. 179/2026
In force from 23 October 2026
- A teacher training plan worth up to €100 million (art. 37).
- By January 2027, a ministerial decree on AI training for teachers (art. 38).
- School rules and the school–family agreement to be updated, with regional committees (art. 38).
- Until the new decree, the DM 166 guidelines remain in force.
- DM 219/2025
If you have training-hub funding
- The 2,100 funded schools wrap up their activities by the end of 2026.
- They need train-the-trainer courses and in-person workshops, in groups of 10 and of 5.
- Everything runs through the Scuola Futura platform, using the European DigCompEdu framework.
Good to know: AI Act training has no 2 August 2026 deadline and no compulsory certificate (Lombardy Regional School Office note of 2 July 2026). It matters, but it should be done properly, not in a rush.
How we help
- AI training for teachers and staff, built around the training-hub requirements: train-the-trainer courses, workshops, small groups.
- A DM 166 kit: impact assessment, privacy notice for families, school rules.
- This page, kept up to date, as a guide for your teachers.
