Summary
Poland’s Ministry of Digital Affairs published the draft “Policy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in Poland 2025–2030” (Polityka Rozwoju Sztucznej Inteligencji) in June 2025. The policy was prepared by a cross-ministry Working Group on AI and underwent public consultation through late 2025. As of early 2026 it is the operative framework guiding Poland’s AI development, though the draft Act on AI Systems (establishing the AI Commission) remains pending final enactment.
Four Strategic Pillars
The policy is structured around four pillars: (1) Human capital — developing AI competencies across education, the workforce, and the civil service; (2) Innovation — supporting R&D, academic-industry collaboration, and AI start-ups; (3) Investment and implementation — funding AI infrastructure including STEM and AI laboratories in schools via the EU Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF); and (4) ensuring AI is trustworthy — ethical standards, consumer protection, and EU AI Act compliance.
Education and Workforce Components
On education, the policy commits to investing in STEM and AI laboratories in schools as part of the broader RRP investment stream, and to supporting teacher capacity building via partnerships with Microsoft and the Orange Foundation. On the workforce, the policy frames AI upskilling as a “lifelong learning” priority for the general working population, alongside targeted measures for public sector employees.
Governance Goal
By 2030 Poland aims to rank among the top 10–20 countries globally in leading AI readiness indices (Tortoise AI Index, Government AI Readiness Index). The planned Commission on AI Development and Safety, which would serve as the principal supervisory body, is established under the draft AI Systems Act and remains advisory until that act enters into force.
Score Note
Dimension 10 is already scored at 1 (advisory body at draft stage). This policy document reinforces that assessment but does not warrant a change since the supervisory Commission is not yet operational. Civil servant training requirements exist in the policy as an aspiration but without a defined standard, keeping dimension 11 at 0.
