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.

Protecting yourself against tax risks in the deposit-return system

The deposit-return system has been in place since October 2025, raising significant tax concerns from the outset. Although the regulations came into force, it was unclear for a long time how to apply them in practice. Some of the regulations needed clarification, some solutions were missing and the published explanations did not cover all the key issues. Consequently, the market began to develop its own operating standards.

On 12 February 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a judgment concerning the use of the WIBOR index in loan agreements. The CJEU judges confirmed that, in consumer cases, courts cannot examine the correctness of the WIBOR calculation. The banks had correctly informed their clients about the reference rate in accordance with national and EU law.

The issue of the National Labour Inspectorate reform has resurfaced

A new draft law proposing changes to the way the National Labour Inspectorate operates has been submitted to the Sejm. During its first reading on 25 February, the draft was not rejected and was therefore referred to the Social Policy and Family Committee for further consideration. Despite the concerns and controversies raised so far, including by businesses, the legislature continues to pursue the thorough modernisation of Poland’s employment model, which involves increased supervision of the labour market and curbing the abuse of civil law contracts. In this article, we will take a look at the proposals included in the new draft and explain what they mean for businesses.

Polish AI boom

According to the latest data, nearly 15,000 companies dealing with artificial intelligence were registered in Poland in 2025.[1] This testifies to an undoubted boom in AI, as well as to the dynamic changes related to the development of this technology. However, amid the rush to implement AI, do companies consider the most important issue: securing the outcomes of their work and protecting themselves against competitors? In this article, we explore this issue and suggest ways to avoid costly problems.

Length of service now includes periods of self-employment

The length of service no longer depends solely on work carried out under a contract of employment. The amendment to the Labour Code introduces significant changes, as work carried out under civil law contracts or as part of business activity will now also be included when calculating service, which affects employees’ rights. What will this mean for employees and employers?

Banking sector overview | Banking today and tomorrow | February 2026

The Polish banking sector is undergoing intense reshuffling on a scale not seen for years. Large banks are changing owners, foreign players are shifting their strategies and new investors are entering the market. The question is whether these are just temporary shifts in capital or the beginning of lasting change in the industry’s balance of power.

31 January. Don’t forget about the DAC7 Directive

The deadline for meeting the obligations under the DAC7 directive and the Polish regulations implementing it is fast approaching. Online platform operators must fulfil their reporting obligations by 31 January 2026 at the latest with regard to 2025 data. For many, this is the final opportunity not only to prepare the required information, but also to verify whether DAC7 obligations apply to them and, if so, to what extent.
