Polish businesses must comply with the EU AI Act. Poland's growing tech sector means increasing numbers of companies face compliance obligations as both AI deployers and potential providers.
EU AI Act in Poland: Guide for Polish Companies
Key Compliance Requirements
As an EU regulation, the AI Act applies directly in all member states without national transposition. EU AI Act in Poland companies must comply with the same requirements as businesses throughout the EU.
The primary obligations are: Article 4 AI literacy (in force since February 2025), Article 5 prohibited practices (in force since February 2025), and high-risk AI system requirements (from 2 August 2026).
Practical Steps for Compliance
Step 1: Conduct an AI inventory — document all AI tools used in your organisation, their purposes, and the data they process.
Step 2: Classify each AI system against Annex III high-risk categories. Most business tools (email assistants, translation, content generation) are not high-risk.
Step 3: Implement AI literacy measures for all staff using AI tools. Document your training and policies.
Step 4: For any high-risk AI systems, begin preparing conformity documentation per Articles 9-15.
National Enforcement and Resources
Each EU member state must designate national competent authorities for AI Act enforcement by 2 August 2025. Check with your national data protection authority or digital affairs ministry for the latest guidance.
