Copy link to Key messagesPoland announced plans in artificial Intelligence (AI) policy in November 2024, including a new Artificial Intelligence Fund of approximately EUR 235 million (PLN 1 billion) and a new cross-governmental AI Council to oversee implementation of projects and guide AI policy making. This announcement follows the publication of a new comprehensive national digitalisation strategy (which also includes goals on AI) in October 2024.
Previously, Poland’s 2020 national AI strategy drew from European Union (EU) AI and other national technology and innovation policy frameworks, giving direction to and monitoring AI-related measures across different parts of the government. AI policy in Poland has so far been governed through the governance centre for AI at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and under the chair of the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the Council of Ministers Committee for Digital Affairs, while several multistakeholder bodies related to AI, spanning business and academia, provided advice on AI policy and implementation.
Poland has announced EUR 2.5 billion investment in key enablers for AI development: A leader in terms of data governance in the European Union, particularly with regard to government data (according to Open Data Maturity reports), the government and is actively investing in data processing power, including a fund of EUR 650 million to support companies’ cloud needs (via the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility or RRF), in addition to its participation in the Important Project of Common European Interest on Next-Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS) (EUR 217 million) and computing power (including EUR 1.8 billion for semiconductors), and a new AI Factory (EUR 16 million).
There are numerous AI research initiatives, including an AI centre of excellence (EUR 4.6 million), a project to develop the Polish Large Language Model (PLLuM) (EUR 3.4 million) and several broader digital/information technology (IT)/cyber research programmes with AI elements.
Business implementation initiatives (including support for start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises or SMEs) can be used to developed AI use cases but tend to have a broader remit of innovation and technology in Poland, with some AI-specific initiatives in place and under development.
Developing digital and AI skills is a priority in Poland: Several AI-specific programmes are in place, the largest of which focusing on developing specialists through university-level courses, with other (pilot) programmes targeting AI and broader digital skills development of students in secondary education, youth, teachers, business leaders, women and the general population.
Different parts of the government have implemented sector-specific initiatives to support AI use cases, including in the energy, healthcare, public and agricultural sectors.

Copy link to Acquire, pool and share policy insightsIn November 2024, Poland’s government announced the creation of a new Artificial Intelligence Fund of approximately EUR 235 million (PLN 1 billion) and an AI Council. The AI Council will bring together the several state institutions involved in the distribution of public funds for the development of AI: the Ministries of Digital Affairs, of Education and of Defence, the Polish Development Fund (PFR), the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) and the National Development Bank (BGK). As an advisory body tasked with overseeing and co‑ordinating investments and activities related to the development of AI in Poland, the council will also develop guidelines to support the implementation of safe and ethical AI, design programmes to allocate funds for specific projects and monitor the development of the AI market in Poland (Government of Poland, 2024[1]).
In October 2024, the government had already published a new national digitalisation strategy, the goals of which include the creation of a robust AI ecosystem, e.g. enabling 50% of business to adopt AI tools, as well as – for digitalisation more broadly – the creation of a central co‑ordination body, establishment of digital transformation offices in all ministries, regular monitoring and evaluation mechanisms (Government of Poland, 2024[2]).1
Prior to these announcements, Poland’s national AI strategy, i.e. Policy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in Poland from 2020, had been released in January 2021 and builds on a number of national and international initiatives, including the EU Coordinated Plan on Artificial Intelligence and other EU2 and regional3 documents, as well as a number of national programmes and strategies.4
The strategy sets out activities the following six key areas: i) AI and society; ii) AI and innovative companies; iii) AI and science; iv) AI and education; v) AI and international co‑operation; and vi) AI and the public sector. For each key area, it highlights the “strategic partners”, including the responsible ministries, policy initiatives to develop, co‑operating entities and key objectives until 2023 (short-term), until 2027 (medium-term) and after 2027 (long-term) (Government of Poland, 2021[3]; 2021[4]).
No overall budget envelope was allocated to the 2020 AI strategy. Instead, it presented the main public programmes supporting the development of innovation and innovative enterprises, which also enabled financing projects related to the development and implementation of AI-based solutions.
With regard to AI governance arrangements, Poland had previously established a governance centre for the national AI strategy, located at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister and under the chair of the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the Council of Ministers Committee for Digital Affairs. The centre includes the AI policy Task Force, the Scientific Council for AI, the AI Observatory for the Labour Market, the Observatory of international AI Policy, as well as the legal task force for changing regulations. Additionally, Poland is planning to establish a new regulatory office, the Supervisory Commission for Artificial Intelligence (KNSI), modelled on its Polish Financial Supervision Authority; the commission would examine whether AI – especially high-risk models used in healthcare, justice or transport – meets all requirements, including certification and data provenance monitoring.
Poland has several structures in place to utilise private expertise for public AI policy: the multistakeholder Working Group on AI (Grupa Robocza ds. Sztucznej Inteligencji, GRAI) (Government of Poland, 2021[5]) has developed recommendations on AI policy; GRAI has recently merged with the Working Group on Internet of Things (Grupa Robocza ds. Internetu Rzeczy, GRIoT) (Government of Poland, 2024[6]), and most recently, in December 2024, suggested priorities and projects in the Policy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in Poland 2025-2030 (Government of Poland, 2024[7]). Additionally, in February 2024, a multistakeholder advisory team PL/AI Artificial intelligence for Poland (Sztuczna inteligencja dla Polski) was appointed.
Tap into the potential of data and foster critical computing capacity
Copy link to Tap into the potential of data and foster critical computing capacityPoland’s policy and institutional arrangement to data usage and cloud policies are well-developed: The country ranks second in the European Union for open data maturity (EC, 2024[8]) and has allocated resources to harmonise cloud infrastructure across the public administration. Furthermore, it supports the digital transformation of enterprises through cloud computing technologies, predominantly through funds from the national Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).
While public data processing investments focus on enhancing public sector capabilities, several private associations5 and consortia work to co‑ordinate computing resources. For instance, the PL-Grid Consortium consolidates national computing resources for science and provides IT support services. Through the EuroCC National Competence Centre (funded under the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking, HPC JU), the computation centres encourage Polish entrepreneurs, especially from the SME sector, to use their services.
A member of the Chips Joint Undertaking, Poland also has a national strategy for semiconductor investments, and is collaborating with EU partners on building a quantum supercomputer.

Build strategic leadership in priority sectors
Copy link to Build strategic leadership in priority sectorsVarious government ministries are managing several AI-related initiatives, which are often part of broader initiatives aimed to leverage digitalisation. These decentralised initiatives are tracked through the monitoring mechanism of the 2020 AI strategy. They include initiatives in the areas of climate and the environment, health, the public sector and agriculture. Poland did not report any mobility AI initiatives.
State of AI in healthcare
Copy link to State of AI in healthcareIn Poland, health data governance is shared between the Ministry of Health – the official data controller and authority for health services – and the e-Health Centre (Centrum e-Zdrowia, CeZ) which manages and processes health data (G.NIUS, 2024[50]; Polish Parliament, 2011[51]). Established in 2000, the CeZ is responsible for building the e-health ecosystem by developing and maintaining central information technology systems such as electronic medical records (Centrum e-Zdrowia, 2024[52]). Poland has progressively invested in the digitalisation of its health system, with notable acceleration during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and, as a result has a strong digital health infrastructure with further investments being made in interoperability, availability of quality health data for primary and secondary use, and cross-border services (e-Health Centre, 2023[53]). One such investment is the implementation of SNOMED CT standards and enhanced semantic interoperability for its health data, with the aim of making it available for ML and AI innovation (e-Health Centre, 2023[53]; Government of Poland, 2024[54]).
On an EU level, Poland is an active participant in the development of the European Health Data Space and is making primary use data available with other work planned with regard to secondary use (Government of Poland, 2024[54]). Utilising the European Funds for Social Development 2021-2027 (a national programme of the European Social Fund Plus), Poland has also advanced on a project to boost healthcare worker capacity and literacy in using digital health solutions (Government of Poland, 2024[54]). In 2021, the Ministry of Digital Affairs established a Working Group on AI (GRAI) to bring together 350 experts in 14 subgroups across many sectors, including health, to build AI capacity and knowledge within Polish businesses (Government of Poland, 2020[55]; 2024[54]). Under Poland’s national RRP, a number of initiatives are being planned in AI for health, including means of analysing patients’ health status from medical and lifestyle data, as well as AI algorithms to support physicians’ clinical decision making (Government of Poland, 2024[54]). Another project, initiated in 2020, has developed an AI model to manage the health of patients in critical condition and identify the optimal pathway for emergency services (Government of Poland, 2024[54]). Poland has a vision of innovation and improved satisfaction in the health system for patients and health providers through the use of CeZ technology and will continue pursuing this vision in the coming years to bring more e-health solutions and AI into the health ecosystem (e-Health Centre, 2023[53]).

SNOMED CT and Semantic Interoperability |
2023 |
In 2023, Poland committed to the implementation and use of the SNOMED CT classification standard for its health data, to enable semantic interoperability and establish the foundations for AI solutions in its health services (Government of Poland, 2024[54]). The implementation of the SNOMED CT standard in Poland will be carried out in co‑operation between the Ministry of Health and the e-Health Centre, which is a state budget unit subordinate to the Minister of Health responsible for healthcare IT systems. The e-Health Centre is responsible for monitoring planned, developed and operated teleinformatic systems at the central and regional levels. It runs the SNOMED CT National Publishing Centre and is responsible for maintaining and distributing the Polish language version of the SNOMED CT dictionary. |
The implementation of the SNOMED CT standard in Poland is financed under the Poland SNOMED International Membership project and the EU4Health (EU4H) programme in the area of “Increase health data semantic” (EU4H is the largest EU health programme for 2021-27 with a budget of EUR 5.3 billion) |

Working Group on AI (Grupa Robocza ds. Sztucznej Inteligencji, GRAI) |
2021 |
GRAI was established in 2021 with the aim of identifying actions aimed at ensuring appropriate conditions in Poland for the development of AI applications in both the private and public sectors, as well as in conducting scientific research. Currently, GRAI brings together nearly 700 pro bono experts (technology suppliers, representatives from law firms specialising in new technologies, numerous sector representatives operating on the market, in finance, energy, health, education, etc., scientific representatives (R&D); non-governmental organisations, representatives of ministries and institutions that are or should be interested in the subject of AI). Currently, GRAI covers the following areas:
In December 2024, GRAI experts prepared substantive recommendations for the Policy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence in Poland 2025-2030, which were taken into account by the Ministry of Digital Affairs in the development of a new Artificial Intelligence Development Policy in Poland until 2030. |
No budget reported, though it has been noted that GRAI operates free of charge and experts work pro bono |

AI for Justice (SI dla sprawiedliwości) |
2025(-35) |
The implementation of AI in the Polish justice system aims to improve the work of judges and prosecutors, shorten the duration of proceedings and support citizens in easier and faster access to these institutions. The actions planned by the Ministry of Justice include, among others, the creation of tools supporting the conduct of court cases, the adaptation of language models and the provision of AI systems adequate to the needs of the justice system. Awareness and educational activities for justice system employees should also be built in, with the use of AI to ensure the effective implementation of new technologies. Support for the justice system is to be carried out, among others, through the construction of a modular, reusable system based on AI class solutions, initially supporting the General Prosecutor’s Office on a pilot basis and in subsequent versions other units working in the area of legal documentation analysis in accelerating the process of analysis, comparison, reasoning and creation of documents, which is the basis for making faster, more accurate decisions in conducted, analysed cases. The reusability of modules will allow them to be implemented in various configurations, including, partly, in projects such as E-Legislation (KPRM) or other public sector units. |
