Research: manual workers increasingly use AI
A Pracuj.pl survey found that 27% of Polish manual workers use AI professionally, with 19% using it at least three times weekly and 6% daily. Among users, 42% translate texts into English, 36% seek technical solutions, 34% write messages and emails, 34% check regulations and standards, and 29% calculate data and parameters. Across all respondents, 37% expect practical and manual skills to become more important to employers over five years.
Half consider claims of AI-driven career advantages exaggerated because expertise still matters, rising to 55% among frequent AI users and 58% among IT workers. ARC Rynek i Opinia surveyed 1,506 employed Poles online in August 2026.
