Examples of the use of artificial intelligence in the digitalisation of the economy

14 September 2023 | Knowledge, News, The Right Focus

From at least the 1950s, when Alan Turing published his paper ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’, the concept of artificial intelligence has captivated people’s imagination with the promise of a breakthrough in the way the world and the economy can function.

Today, AI solutions are increasingly facilitating our activities in many diverse areas, including:

Data analysis and pattern recognition

With the availability of huge collections of structured data, artificial intelligence can effectively assist in their analysis and pattern search, making it possible, for example, to build advanced risk assessment models, thereby increasing the scope for secure financing. Such tools can also be successfully used to optimise processes and supply chains, and are being used to combat various types of criminal activity

Service personalisation

Requires changing established standards every time. Until now, any deviation has been costly and could be unprofitable on a case-by-case basis. With artificial intelligence, which is efficient, for example, we can get more tailored digital content, including websites, e-learning or music

Business process automation

Personnel costs can often be a significant burden, especially in the case of labour-intensive and repetitive activities. This is why business process automation is undergoing dynamic development, allowing the reduction of human activities in favour of their automation (e.g. generating repetitive reports, ordering data and electronic documents, checking for changes in regulations).

Advice

With the right database, AI can be successfully used to support decision-making processes, for example in capital market advice, where the tool can use historical data, current data and the company’s investment policy to recommend specific financial instruments to the client, thus optimising profit. Another example is assisting medical staff in classifying a patient conditions.

Customer service

There is a growing market for chatbots/customer assistants. A well-designed tool with a large database can effectively speed up customer service, especially for routine issues.

The process of digitalisation and automation through the implementation of artificial intelligence in various areas of life seems inevitable. However, we need to be aware that this brings with it a number of challenges, including the potential for restricting access to information (information bubble) or a discriminatory approach due to the training of models based on poorly chosen information.

EU regulation on artificial intelligence

The proposed EU Regulation laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (the AI Act) addresses these challenges. It will regulate the different uses of AI, including the obligations of providers and users of artificial intelligence systems.

As the draft Regulation is a comprehensive piece of legislation, preparing for its application will require an analysis of the information processed and the identification of necessary changes to IT infrastructure or policies and internal instructions.

Due to the specificity of this area, the success of the process of adapting to the Regulation will depend on the support of experienced AI consultants and lawyers who can help identify potential gaps and risks, and highlight the opportunities and possibilities that such solutions offer.

Workplace harassment and discrimination: new regulations for employers

The Sejm has passed an amendment to the Labour Code concerning workplace harassment and discrimination. The changes introduce a broader definition of the concept itself, new forms of harassment, clearer definitions of what constitutes, for example, sexual harassment, and new rules governing the handling of such cases, including the reversal of the burden of proof, higher compensation awards, and the jurisdiction of district courts. The provisions will enter into force on 5 November 2026. We examine what will change and how much time remains to adapt company documents, policies, and the organisation as a whole.

ESG Roadmap. How to identify which regulations apply to your business and build a strategy

As we know, ESG in business is a roadmap made up of numerous obligations arising from different regulatory frameworks. That is why the right question is not “how do I meet all the requirements?” but rather “which of them apply to my business?”. This is a crucial distinction. We explain how to correctly diagnose your regulatory profile and build an effective ESG strategy – one that actually works and gives you a competitive edge.

Announcement of Income Tax Reform

On 19 August, during a press conference, the Prime Minister announced a package of tax changes planned for next year. According to the announcement, the reform is intended, on the one hand, to ease the burden on the middle class and, on the other, to shift a greater fiscal burden onto the wealthiest individuals and the largest companies. We take a look at the proposals included in the announced package and explain what they might mean for taxpayers.

Family foundations and the tax authorities: what draft bill UD447 proposes and why this is not the end of the troubles

Family foundations were intended to provide entrepreneurs with a stable framework for intergenerational wealth management. Yet not even four years have passed since the first such foundations were established, and the rules governing their taxation are set to be changed once again. This is because the scale of interest and the practical problems uncovered have overwhelmed the drafters of the legislation, as best illustrated by the figures – 927 applications for individual tax rulings and 77 opinions issued from the Head of the National Revenue Administration. This does not, however, mean that family foundations are being used on a massive scale for aggressive tax optimisation. A significant proportion of the queries concerned simply how to correctly apply the complex regulations.

NIS2 and the National Cybersecurity System Act in transport: what you need to do before October 2026

The amended Act on the National Cybersecurity System (UKSC) has been in force since 3 April 2026. For transport sector undertakings, this means a specific compliance timeline, including an obligation to register with the National Cybersecurity System (KSC) registry by 3 October 2026. Failure to do so may result in substantial financial penalties, coupled with the risk of personal liability for senior management. Not every undertaking, however, automatically falls within the scope of the new regime. Read on to find out whether your organisation is affected and what you need to do before the deadline for preparation.

Family foundations: the government has done the maths and presented the bill

Three years. That’s how long we’ve been waiting for what the Council of Ministers had seen in the data from the outset – and has now disclosed in its review of the Family Foundation Act. The document not only diagnoses the problems, but also previews substantial changes to rules that founders and their advisers treated as settled and stable. And therein lies a problem that goes far beyond tax matters. If the rules of the game are changed while the game is being played, there can be neither planning stability nor trust in the law. It is no coincidence that one of the greatest concerns among entrepreneurs considering setting up a foundation is not the level of taxation, but the stability of the legal framework – which today is once again being called into question.

What the new swiss franc act means for banks

We now have a new Act on Special Measures for the Adjudication of Cases Concerning Loan Agreements Denominated in or Indexed to the Swiss Franc. The provisions come into force 14 days after publication. So now is a good time to look at what lies ahead and what banks should be doing today.

New draft Pay Transparency Act – what has changed since December 2025?

A second version of the draft act on strengthening the application of the right to equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women has now been published. It refines procedures and deadlines and introduces a new supervisory body. We have already discussed the changes affecting the recruitment stage and the three pillars of the forthcoming pay transparency framework, noting that Poland will miss the EU transposition deadline of 7 June 2026. Now, we take a closer look at the further changes, new developments and risks that have emerged in the latest, April version of the draft.

Payment Services Regulation (PSR) – between consumer protection and due diligence

The draft Payment Services Regulation (PSR) is one of the most significant elements of the reform of the EU legal framework for payment services. Its principal aim is to enhance the security of cashless transactions and to reduce the scale of financial fraud, in particular that arising from the growth of digital channels. At the same time, the new rules are intended to introduce a liability model that will not result in risk being transferred entirely to financial institutions, whilst retaining an important role for independent due diligence on the part of the user.
