A study by the government-funded Polish Economic Institute (PIE) found that 7.09% of Polish SMEs used AI in 2025— one of the lowest rates in the EU and equivalent to 35% of the EU average.
Why is this downvoted?
Because it’s meaningless AI bandwagoning.
Go Poland. Like or hate AI, the fact that Europe is doing well should be celebrated.
racing in wrong direction seems like bad idea, maybe it’s fine if you only care about speed
We’ve had AI for decades and nobody complained. Machine Learning is as old as dirt at this point. Deep Learning is from 1986. Are there things in the current AI hype that won’t live up to the promises, absolutely, but saying that AI isn’t useful is just plain wrong, and Poland doing good in this space is brilliant.
I’d rather have EU-AI than rely on China-AI or US-AI.
what do you think are odds that they just jumped on chatbot hype train
From the article: “Participants competed in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analysis and complex computational problem-solving.”
It doesn’t look like it’s just about chatbots. And trust me, I hate chatbots as much as the next guy. There should be a law that the first question a company would have to ask is “Would you prefer to speak to a human instead of our chatbot”, and then mandate that anyone utilizing chatbots would, under the penalty of fines, have to have less than 15min waiting time for people going for the human option.
