AI adoption, job market shifts, and investment in Poland

Overview

By late 2026, the landscape of AI in Poland shows a complex tension between high individual competency and lagging corporate adoption. While previous data indicated strong investment trends, in 2025, only 8.36% of Polish enterprises with 10 or more employees utilized AI, falling significantly behind the EU average of 19.95%.

Sector-specific integration is expanding. In marketing, a study by Constans and the Polish Advertisers Organization found that while 32 out of 34 interviewed companies report working faster due to AI, most struggle to quantify productivity gains; 18 companies do not measure the effects of AI usage at all. Adoption in this sector is frequently driven by individual leaders, with marketing heads often acting as the primary force for implementation. In the debt management industry, a study by the Association of Financial Enterprises in Poland (ZPF) indicates that companies see the greatest potential for AI in automating operational processes (76.5%) and data analysis (70.6%), though human involvement remains preferred for client negotiations.

Public discourse has also intensified regarding the technology's societal impact. The AI Summit PJAIT 2026 has commenced, featuring experts such as Professor Andrzej Dragan to discuss ethical boundaries and practical deployments. Additionally, the upcoming Festival of Transformation at the Copernicus Science Centre will explore the theme “Is AI thinking for you?”, examining whether algorithmic use constitutes “cognitive outsourcing” and how it reconstructs human perception.
