Poland’s Ministry of Digital Affairs published a revised draft Act on Artificial Intelligence Systems in February 2025 and a new AI Development Policy until 2030 in June 2025. The draft act establishes a Commission on the Development and Safety of Artificial Intelligence as the national supervisory body, introduces notification procedures and conformity assessments for AI systems, and creates a framework for financial penalties for violations. A regulatory sandbox for AI testing will be launched by 2 August 2026, aligning with the EU AI Act’s compliance deadline for high-risk systems. The law is expected to be finalised in the first half of 2026.
Who it affects: Companies and public bodies developing or deploying AI systems in Poland, particularly those operating high-risk AI systems as defined by the EU AI Act. The Commission will oversee market compliance once enacted.
What is notably missing: The draft act focuses on AI system regulation and market oversight, not on AI literacy or education obligations. It does not require employers to train employees in AI use or ethics, does not establish standards for civil servant AI training, and does not mandate AI literacy in schools beyond what the EU AI Act already implies. Poland has not yet enacted any AI-specific legislation; the act remains in draft form as of early 2026.
