Young Poles see more threat than opportunity in AI

Only 5% of Poles aged 18-29 feel no anxiety about their professional future due to AI development, the lowest among five countries surveyed. While 76% of Polish Gen Z believe they are skilled in AI, only 33% use AI tools professionally daily. Concerns about job security due to AI are prevalent, with 30% of young Poles citing it as their top worry. The gap between perceived AI skills and readiness for job market changes is significant, at 40 percentage points. Experts suggest that while AI's negative impact on employment may not increase significantly in the next five years, certain sectors could feel more pressure. The job market is becoming more competitive, with a high number of applications for junior positions, indicating rising expectations for candidates.
