Education and law do not keep up with artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is essential in many different industries. It has already changed healthcare, banking, trade, and manufacturing. While it offers many advantages, there are concerns that AI may do more social harm than economic benefit. Already, virtually without US government supervision, private companies use AI-based software to make health, employment, and creditworthiness decisions.

"This technology will apply to our matters, also biological. So there are very important questions, where is the border, what should we follow, who sets the rules," Anna Streżyńska, former minister of digitization, assessed.

"Artificial intelligence in Poland is not developing as we would like it to, and as long as there is no budget, it will not be. It is important that we can apply other people's solutions so that it is beneficial for business, but also traditionally society, and that we answered questions and challenges related to it, such as challenges related to the morality of artificial intelligence, or how it will make decisions," Anna Streżyńska added.

The report State of Polish AI 2021 of the Digital Poland Foundation shows that in terms of the number of experts working on the development or implementation of artificial intelligence, Poland ranks 17th in the EU, we are also a leader in our part of Europe. Polish AI companies most often work for the IT industry, telecommunications, banking, and finance as well as trade, but we are not precursors, largely due to the small budget we allocate to modern solutions.

However, as Anna Streżyńska emphasizes, the slow pace of development of artificial intelligence will allow us to answer the emerging doubts regarding the ethics and morality of the implemented solutions.
