Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing both our professional and private lives. To meet the challenges posed by this technology, it is important for Poles, especially those currently working, to be properly prepared.
In this article, we present key aspects worth considering to best prepare for a future with AI.
The first step in preparing for the arrival of AI is understanding what artificial intelligence actually is.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of science concerned with creating systems capable of performing tasks that require human intelligence. These tasks include image recognition, natural language processing, and decision-making.
AI's capabilities include, among others, image recognition, natural language processing, and decision-making.
To use AI effectively, it is necessary to acquire the appropriate knowledge and skills.
It is worth investing in courses and training in the fields of artificial intelligence, programming, or data analysis. There are many online resources available that can help in learning these technologies.
Technologies related to AI are developing rapidly; therefore, it is important to be flexible and open to change.
Employees should be ready to learn and adapt to new tools and systems introduced in the workplace. This will allow them to collaborate effectively with AI technologies and leverage their potential.
AI can significantly change the way we work. The automation of many processes allows for increased efficiency and a reduction in the time required to perform routine tasks.
Employees should focus on developing skills that are difficult to automate, such as creativity, project management, and interpersonal communication.
It is important not to treat AI as a threat, but as a tool that can support our work.
Collaboration between humans and AI can bring many benefits, such as increased efficiency, improved service quality, and the introduction of innovative solutions. Employees should learn how to best utilize AI in their work.
Artificial intelligence may impact changes in the structure of the labor market. Some professions may disappear, but at the same time, new ones will emerge related to the operation and development of AI technology.
It is vital to stay up to date with trends and predictions regarding the future of the job market to be able to adapt accordingly.
The government and educational institutions play a key role in preparing society for the arrival of AI. Investments in education, research, and the development of AI technology are essential to provide Poles with access to modern tools and knowledge.
Government support can also include reskilling and upskilling programs to help employees adapt to new labor market requirements.
As AI develops, ethical issues and the responsibility associated with its use also arise.
It is important for AI technologies to be developed and applied in a responsible manner, respecting human rights and privacy. Employees and employers should be aware of these challenges and strive for the ethical use of AI.
Artificial intelligence brings many opportunities, but also challenges. For working Poles to effectively prepare for the arrival of AI, they must understand how it works, develop appropriate skills, be open to change, and collaborate with the technology.
Support from the government and educational institutions, as well as an ethical approach to AI, are key to the positive utilization of this technology in the future.

The most useful skills are those related to programming, data analysis, project management, creativity, and interpersonal communication.
The biggest challenges are the adaptation of employees to new technologies, ethical issues, and changes in the structure of the labor market.
Professions based on routine, repetitive tasks—such as cashiers, telemarketers, or production line workers—may be most at risk of automation.
The government can invest in education, reskilling and upskilling programs, and support research and the development of AI technology.
