Nearly 70% of IT professionals use artificial intelligence tools at work every day, yet 40% do not trust them. One in three fears being replaced by AI.
As many as three-quarters of companies in Poland’s IT sector already encourage their employees to use AI-based solutions, while another one-fifth do not actively encourage it but do allow its use. Most IT specialists rely on this technology every day, and 88% rate its usefulness highly. However, only 2% have full confidence in AI. The biggest concerns relate to the possibility of errors in generated code and the risk of data leaks. One in three surveyed IT professionals fears being replaced at work by artificial intelligence, while 16% have no concerns at all about the future of their professional position.
Already 68% of people employed in Poland’s IT sector use AI tools at work on a daily basis. One in five uses them several times a week, and 7% use them a few times a month. As many as 88% rate their usefulness highly, but only 2% have full trust in their reliability and accuracy. These are the findings of the latest report, AI in the IT Job Market, published by No Fluff Jobs.
Only 4% of IT professionals believe AI tools are completely useless in their work, while 8% are indifferent toward them. Limited trust in this type of support is expressed by 37% of respondents, 21% are unable to assess it, and as many as 40% openly admit that they do not trust such tools. The greatest fears concern the possibility of generating incorrect code, cited by 60% of respondents, and the risk of data leaks involving information shared with AI, indicated by 59%.
Only 2% of IT companies ban the use of artificial intelligence at work
According to available data, 14% of people in Poland use artificial intelligence in their daily work. However, in the highly innovation-driven technology sector, it may seem as if this technology is everywhere. The data confirms this impression: our report shows that two-thirds of people working in IT use AI every day, says Marek Psiuk, CTO at No Fluff Jobs.
“Some people can no longer imagine working without AI. IT companies are, for the most part, fully aware of how widespread the use of these tools is among employees and are supporting this transformation. Creating internal guidelines is a much safer solution than leaving the process uncontrolled.”
The study shows that already half of employers in the IT sector not only encourage the use of artificial intelligence at work, but also provide formal guidelines on the subject. In every fourth company, employees are encouraged to use AI, but there are no formal rules or policies in place. In one-fifth of cases, employers allow the use of AI, but do not actively encourage it and do not provide any guidelines. Only 2% of companies prohibit the use of AI solutions at work. Meanwhile, 4% of surveyed IT professionals do not know their employer’s policy in this area.
One in three IT specialists fears being replaced by artificial intelligence
ChatGPT is the most popular artificial intelligence tool in Poland’s IT industry, used by 63% of specialists surveyed by No Fluff Jobs. It is followed by Google’s AI solutions at 46%, GitHub’s AI tools at 41%, Claude Code at 33%, and Claude.ai at 24%.
The main purpose for which IT specialists use AI solutions is to search for problem-solving ideas, indicated by 77% of respondents. Sixty percent use AI for writing code, while 54% use it for creating or maintaining documentation. Another 53% use AI to explore new concepts or technologies, and 51% rely on it for debugging or fixing code. Nearly half of surveyed IT professionals use artificial intelligence as a brainstorming partner.
One in three respondents fears being replaced at work by artificial intelligence. At the same time, 16% say they are definitely not worried about their professional position, while 28% say they are rather unconcerned. Another 23% have no clear opinion on the matter.
“In many industries, AI is not only supporting operations but also beginning to challenge traditional sources of competitive advantage. It is changing the way products are created, customers are served, and decisions are made. This means companies are implementing AI not only to do more, faster, but also to avoid losing market share to those who redesign their operating model,” says Marek Psiuk, CTO at No Fluff Jobs.
“Every day, AI helps save time and money, but it is becoming increasingly clear that it is not the answer to every problem in organizations. Artificial intelligence has accelerated some things, but in other areas it still cannot replace humans, and it will not be able to do so for a long time. This is actually a good sign, because it shows that technology can continue to support career development without making human knowledge and experience less important.”
