Vision Factory explores the ongoing digital transformation within the Polish legal system in 2025. The shift toward e-courts and online filings has aimed to reduce wait times and administrative burdens, with AI beginning to play a supportive role in document sorting and deadline tracking. While these advancements have improved efficiency for judges and attorneys in major cities, the report highlights a significant digital divide in smaller towns, where infrastructure remains scarce. This transition has also raised critical questions regarding cybersecurity, as the storage of sensitive court documents online increases the risk of data leaks.

The Polish judiciary is currently experimenting with AI-assisted tools to streamline routine tasks, yet there is growing concern about the future impact of these systems on judicial decision-making. The Polish Data Protection Authority (UODO) has been actively involved in setting guidelines for automated processing to ensure compliance with human rights and transparency. As Poland works to align its national strategy with the EU AI Act, the focus remains on balancing technological innovation with the need to protect the digital rights of all citizens, including those who face digital exclusion.
