Czechia’s National AI Strategy 2030 (NAIS 2030), updated in July 2024 and approved by the government, sets national priorities across seven interconnected domains: education, industry and enterprise, public administration and services, research and innovation, the labour market, security, and the ethical and legal dimensions of AI. The strategy explicitly names AI education and expertise and lifelong learning among its strategic pillars. It aligns national implementation with the EU AI Act and the Digital Czechia programme and is coordinated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The strategy functions as an overarching planning document from which more specific sectoral policies — including the school curriculum reforms — derive.
Who it affects: The strategy shapes policy across the entire workforce, education system, and public administration. Its education provisions affect students and teachers through the curriculum reform pathway. Its labour market pillar addresses workers at risk of displacement and calls for reskilling investment, though no binding employer obligation has been created.
What is notably missing: The strategy is a planning document, not a law. Workforce AI training for employees remains voluntary; there is no legal obligation on employers to train staff in AI use or ethics. Governance provisions rely on existing ministries rather than a dedicated AI authority with enforcement powers. Most provisions depend on action plans that are yet to be fully defined and funded.
