The Use of AI in Business – Meeting with the Polish Women Chamber of Commerce

Businesses need educational support to ensure that they use artificial intelligence (AI) safely and in compliance with the law, according to the Polish Women Chamber of Commerce. During a meeting with Mirosław Wróblewski, President of the Personal Data Protection Office, the organisation’s representatives highlighted the most common challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises adopting this technology. The President of the Personal Data Protection Office expressed his readiness to provide support.

The meeting, held at the headquarters of the Personal Data Protection Office on 20 October 2026, provided an opportunity to discuss the difficulties businesses face in preparing to meet new obligations arising from the use of artificial intelligence.

The aim of the meeting was to identify the most common problems and concerns raised by women entrepreneurs.

Representatives of the Polish Women Chamber of Commerce (Izba Gospodarcza Kobiet Biznesu – IGKB) explained that the challenges relate in particular to the requirements introduced under the AI Act, as well as to the processing of personal data by artificial intelligence systems in compliance with the GDPR.

The Polish Women Chamber of Commerce noted that these challenges are interdisciplinary in nature, encompassing not only legal issues but also technological and organisational aspects, including those related to personal data protection. Women entrepreneurs are often unsure how to properly assess the risks associated with the processing of personal data by AI, how to use artificial intelligence tools safely, and how to adapt their compliance policies to the requirements of the AI Act and the GDPR.

The meeting also addressed the use of generative artificial intelligence in marketing, the transparency of AI-generated content, profiling, risk management and personal data protection when using AI.

The organisation requested information and support from the Personal Data Protection Office, as well as cooperation in this area. This is intended to serve as a starting point for the Office to develop recommendations or guidelines for small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to guidelines, educational support could include training sessions, webinars and expert events for women in business, with their participation. The meeting therefore also provided an opportunity to discuss potential cooperation in these areas.

The Polish Women Chamber of Commerce is an international public-benefit organisation operating in Poland and 16 other countries. Its activities focus on markets with the greatest business potential.
