Trust in AI in Poland lower than worldwide, study finds

Only two in five Poles say they trust artificial intelligence, slightly below the global average of 46%, according to a new global study by the University of Melbourne in partnership with KPMG.

The research shows that while 77% of respondents are at least moderately comfortable with AI performing everyday tasks, confidence in government institutions remains low, with 45% doubting that public bodies use AI responsibly in the public interest.

Universities and research institutions are seen as the most credible actors for the responsible use of AI in Poland and worldwide.

Data security is a top priority for users, with the right to withdraw consent for personal data processing identified as the most important factor increasing trust.

Despite these concerns, many Poles regularly use free AI tools, often sharing personal data, highlighting a gap between declared caution and actual behaviour.

Experts stress that building trust will require clear regulations, transparency, and user education, suggesting that safe and responsible AI adoption in Poland depends as much on social confidence as on technological innovation.
