AI use expanding in Poland, but slower than in the west
In Poland, AI adoption is progressing, but at a slower pace compared to Western countries. In 2024, only 5.9% of Polish companies used AI, compared to the EU average of 13.5%, according to Eurostat. While AI adoption grew by 2 percentage points in Poland, the EU saw a 5-point increase. Experts like Professor Piotr Sankowski and Tomasz Smolarek criticize limited investments and support for AI development in Poland, particularly compared to the U.S., where substantial funding boosts AI capabilities.
Despite challenges, Poland has potential due to its highly skilled IT workforce. However, digital skills among the general workforce remain a barrier. Improving these competencies is critical for broader and more effective AI integration across industries.
