A new World Bank report says AI could boost Poland’s economy if businesses, workers and policymakers act quickly to turn the technology into growth
Artificial intelligence could become a major new source of economic growth for Poland, but only if the country moves quickly to translate the technology into higher productivity, according to a new World Bank report.
Poland’s GDP could be 1.3 to 12.1 per cent higher by 2035 than under a scenario of stagnant AI adoption, the report estimates. The first economic gains could materialise within three years.
The findings land as Poland, like much of Europe, grapples with slowing productivity growth and mounting pressure to bolster competitiveness. AI alone, the report cautions, will not be enough.
Rather, its modelling identifies investment, workforce skills, labour mobility and firms’ capacity to integrate AI into operations as the decisive factors in determining how much of that potential is realised.
