“Together we will examine the impact of the development of artificial intelligence on our companies and accelerate its adoption, because it is now one of the most important challenges for the competitiveness of our economy”, Deputy Digital Affairs Minister Standerski was quoted as saying.
The project, running through 2027 under South Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program, was formally launched at a meeting between Standerski and officials from South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Korea Development Institute.
Sandboxes allow companies to test new AI products under supervision. South Korea has approved more than 2,500 such projects across various sectors, the ministry said, and Warsaw wants to use that experience to build its own system of innovation support.
Experts from both countries will analyse the legal environment, design a model for running sandboxes and draw up a development strategy. Talks also covered implementing the European Union’s AI Act and a planned Polish law on AI systems.
A follow-up project, the Economic Innovation Partnership Program, is slated for autumn 2027. It would focus on one sector of the Polish economy, including AI infrastructure for an industrial complex, automation of production and help for small and medium-sized firms. South Korea’s trade promotion agency KOTRA is also due to take part.
