Poland Cybersecurity Draft AI Law Adopted
The Polish government has approved a draft law on artificial intelligence systems, aiming to enhance citizen protection while supporting innovation and economic growth. The legislation, prepared by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, is intended to align Poland’s legal framework with the EU’s AI Act.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski emphasized that the new regulations will ensure public safety, particularly in scenarios where AI technologies may become difficult to control. He also highlighted that the law will provide stable and favorable conditions for businesses to develop AI solutions, while giving citizens greater influence over how these systems operate.
The draft law introduces a new supervisory body, the Commission for the Development and Safety of Artificial Intelligence (KRiBSI), which will oversee compliance with AI regulations in Poland. The Commission will have broad powers, including conducting administrative proceedings, issuing decisions, and imposing penalties for violations. It will also coordinate national oversight of AI systems.
Beyond enforcement, KRiBSI will play a key role in fostering Poland’s AI ecosystem. Its responsibilities will include supporting research and innovation, promoting economic competitiveness, and managing so-called “regulatory sandboxes” that allow companies to test AI solutions in a controlled environment. The commission will also engage in educational initiatives and cooperate with EU institutions and international organizations.
The government has stressed that Poland aims not only to adopt foreign technologies but also to develop its own AI solutions domestically, in line with ethical standards and best practices. Businesses will be able to seek guidance and binding opinions from the commission, ensuring legal certainty for their AI-related activities.
Overall, the proposed legislation seeks to balance innovation with accountability, positioning Poland as an active participant in shaping the future of trustworthy artificial intelligence.
This framework also creates opportunities for U.S. companies, particularly in areas such as AI compliance, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and advanced technologies, where transatlantic partnerships and participation in regulatory sandboxes could facilitate market entry and collaboration with Polish stakeholders.
