Nearly 70% of surveyed Poles regularly use artificial intelligence, according to a KPMG report published Wednesday. At the same time, more than half of those who use such technologies at work hide this information from their employers.
The report shows that artificial intelligence tools are often used without supervision and without the employer's knowledge – 55% of surveyed employees using AI in Poland do not disclose that they use it and present the results obtained with the help of AI as their own.
The authors of the publication emphasized that although artificial intelligence increases work efficiency for most users in Poland (64%), in every third case it also leads to a greater workload.

Trust in AI was declared by 41% of Polish respondents – less than the global average of 46%. Despite this, the level of acceptance for AI in the workplace is among the highest, reaching 77%. Sixty percent of Polish survey participants report using AI effectively, and 70% believe they can recognize AI-generated content. Meanwhile, 29% indicated they had received some training in this area – 10 percentage points less than the global average.
Artificial intelligence is also increasingly raising concerns – 89% of respondents are concerned about cyber threats related to this technology , and 44% have personally experienced their effects. Fifty-four% of respondents have encountered AI-generated disinformation, and 48% have noted the negative effects of automation.
Half of the surveyed Polish employees do not perceive a threat to core job functions or the industry as a whole, but one in three (34%) indicated that artificial intelligence could take over important tasks, and a similar percentage expected job cuts in their sector. The report emphasized that Poles also exhibit less skepticism than the average global employee – 31% of Poles said they feared being replaced by AI, compared to the global average of 40%.
“Despite the widespread expectation of regulations (both domestic and international), as many as 90% of Polish respondents are unaware of the existence of current regulations concerning AI. In turn, one in three people using AI at work admits to regularly engaging in careless or even contrary to company policy,” the authors concluded.
The study was conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Melbourne in collaboration with KPMG, with a sample of over 48,000 respondents from 47 countries, including 1,082 from Poland. In each country, data was collected using representative research panels. Respondents were invited to participate in an online survey, and data collection lasted from November 2024 to mid-January 2025.
