Poland Bets on AI – But Doesn’t Talk About the Costs

Poland is rapidly becoming a hub for artificial intelligence, with significant investments flowing into the sector. The country already boasts a third of the data center capacity in Central and Eastern Europe, which underscores its growing role in the AI landscape. However, the surge in AI investment has sparked little discussion about the environmental consequences, raising questions about the sustainability of this technological push. This omission could have broader implications for the region's environmental policies and the global conversation on AI's ecological footprint.
