World Bank Says AI Could Lift Poland's Economy 12% by 2035

Summary
A 12% economic boost by 2035 is possible for Poland if it captures productivity gains from artificial intelligence, the World Bank said in a report published Monday.
Rising costs and demographic pressures are eroding Poland’s traditional advantages, pushing the country toward a more demanding growth model centered on innovation.
The World Bank said that next stage of convergence with richer economies will depend on attracting AI-related foreign investment and turning the technology into broad productivity gains.
That shift could help Poland keep narrowing the gap with the world’s richest countries even as labor-cost competitiveness fades.
As AI promises to boost Poland's economy, what happens to the millions of workers whose jobs are at risk?
Will Poland’s new AI regulations attract foreign investment or become a barrier to its technological leap?

Overview
The World Bank sees artificial intelligence (AI) as a powerful driver for Poland’s future economic growth, projecting that AI could boost the country’s GDP by up to 12% by 2035. To better understand AI’s broad impact, the World Bank developed the MANAGE-AI macroeconomic model, which addresses the challenges and uncertainties in measuring the true effects of rapid AI investment. This new approach helps policymakers navigate the wide range of possible outcomes, making it easier to plan strategies that maximize AI’s benefits and position Poland as a leader in economic innovation.
