What Do Poles Feel about Artificial Intelligence?
The development of artificial intelligence elicits mixed feelings in Polish people, with almost the same number of respondents expressing anxiety (59%) as curiosity (58%) about it. Almost half of those surveyed (49%) are keeping this evolving technology at arm’s length, saying they mistrust it. Nevertheless, over a quarter (27%) hope AI will develop in a positive direction and benefit people. On the other hand, every fifth respondent (20%) feels helpless in the face of the power of this complex technology. Almost one in six (18%) is indifferent to AI, most likely because of not being aware of using it. The lowest percentage (though not at all small) comprises those enthusiastic about AI (14%).

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (410) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register. Respondents independently selected one of the following methods: Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI); Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS; Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS. In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 10 – 20 June 2024 inclusive on a sample of 1055 people (64.7% using the CAPI method, 21.4% CATI and 13.8% CAWI). CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
