This year marks the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the European Union. To commemorate this occasion, the Media Research Laboratory of the University of Warsaw conducted a CATI survey (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) about the EU in Polish media, based on the opinions of Poles*. The survey was conducted between June 3-6, 2024, with 1,219 respondents participating.

The Media Research Laboratory team asked Poles what they believe the media they consume daily think about Ukraine's accession to the EU and which countries, according to these same media, are Poland's allies within the European Union. They also inquired about what respondents thought, based on the media, are the main tasks of the EU and which media the surveyed Poles use most often.

Poles want deliveries using smart drones and care robots, but they are afraid of autonomous cars – these are the conclusions of a survey conducted by the Laboratory of Media Studies at UW dedicated to artificial intelligence. At the same time, Poles do not see the need to regulate this area by law, and a significant part of them has not yet encountered this issue at all. - It is possible that the term "robot" primarily brings to mind the adjective "kitchen" – admits Prof. Tomasz Gackowski, head of the Laboratory of Media Studies.
