Artificial intelligence can bring Poland a fortune

Up to USD 90 billion per year could be generated in the Polish economy by the appropriate use of artificial intelligence, but this requires a lot of preparation.

EY and Liberty Global analysts have prepared a report entitled “Wired for AI,” which shows that artificial intelligence can bring the Polish economy an additional $90 billion per year. However, this requires decisive investment in education and new technologies.

According to the analysis, artificial intelligence can increase work efficiency in as many as 49% of jobs, and not only among those directly related to advanced technologies. In the case of Poland, this percentage is 32%, because only so many jobs in our country have access to well-functioning networks and appropriate technologies. The use of artificial intelligence in the economy could bring benefits equivalent to the work of 4.9 million employees, generating additional production value at the level of USD 90 billion per year. However, experts indicate that this does not mean the loss of these almost 5 million jobs, but only bringing additional “hands to work” to the Polish economy, which can be used for the most time-consuming tasks, so that people can focus on complex projects.

According to Dorota Gardoń from the Katowice-based company BPSC, quoted by PAP, in order to fully use the potential of AI, strategic actions in the field of employee education and training are necessary, as well as investments in digital technologies and networks.

The job market will undoubtedly have to adapt to new realities. Some professions may become less necessary, while others, especially those related to information technology and data management, will become more important. Education and training will be key to ensure that AI does not compete with employees, but is an efficient aid

– said Dorota Gardoń.

According to EY and Liberty Global experts, those who will benefit the most from AI-related changes are those starting their professional careers and high-class specialists, while people holding positions where automation can be easily applied will have to acquire new qualifications – especially digital ones.
