According to the Polish Economic Institute (PIE), 20% of workers in Poland are employed in roles that are particularly susceptible to automation and replacement by artificial intelligence. The highest risk affects positions within the service, sales, and administrative sectors, where AI can take over routine and repetitive tasks.

As part of the project titled "Digital Individual Learning Accounts in the Visegrad Countries" (D-ILA), a research team from Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia conducted a scoping study to capture stakeholder perspectives on the current state of adult education systems within the Visegrad countries. The primary aim of the D-ILA project is to explore and propose innovative ways to harness data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support soft skills development through individual learning accounts.
