The World Bank projects artificial intelligence could boost Poland's economy by up to 12% by 2035. The technology could help the country converge with wealthier nations as traditional cost advantages diminish.

According to the World Bank's assessment, Poland stands to gain significantly from AI adoption over the next decade. The projected 12% economic boost would support the country's convergence with developed economies, offsetting competitive pressures as labor cost advantages erode. Poland has positioned itself as a growing tech hub in Central Europe, with increasing investment in digital infrastructure and talent. The World Bank analysis suggests AI integration across sectors could drive productivity gains and economic growth. The forecast reflects broader global trends showing AI's potential to reshape economies. However, realizing these gains will require adequate investment in education, infrastructure, and policies that support innovation and workforce adaptation. The projection comes as governments worldwide assess AI's economic implications and develop strategies to maximize benefits while managing workforce transitions.
