Poland's AI Strategy 2030: Businesses Seek Concrete Plans and Tax Breaks

Polish businesses are pushing for concrete actions and financial incentives to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence, as the government refines its national AI strategy for 2030. The AI Chamber, an industry group, has reviewed the draft strategy and, while positive, emphasizes the need for clearer implementation details and additional recommendations.

A key demand from the business sector is the creation of a concise "AI Action Plan" written in accessible language for entrepreneurs. They also advocate for the public sector to "Lead by Example," using AI pilot programs in areas like hospitals and courts to establish benchmarks for ethics and quality across the market. Furthermore, businesses are calling for legislative work on a systemic "AI Adoption Relief" to encourage investment.

Companies are particularly interested in tax deductions for expenses related to cloud services, software licenses, and AI consulting. The goal is to make AI adoption more financially feasible, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. The collaboration between state and commercial models is also seen as a crucial element in building trust and ensuring the responsible development of AI technologies within Poland.
