Discussion Digest — from the Session Records

Key exchanges extracted from session records and transcripts.

1. Two Days and Twenty Open-Call Sessions — Programme Design in the Open

Sessions: Overall programme (24 Nov: ministry/NASK debates; 25 Nov: open-call sessions)

Day two's 20 one-hour sessions were chosen by the Programme Council from an open call (deadline 19 September 2025) open to civil society, academia, business and public administration alike [2][1]
The four tracks: human-centred Smart City; Poland and Europe in technological competition; a secure digital space (cybercrime, disinformation, digital hygiene); and present and future technologies — separating AI and quantum substance from hype [2][1]
Participation was free; the venue moved to the InterContinental Warsaw, the first hotel-format edition [2][1]

2. AI and Lawmaking — AI as a Tool for Coherent Legislation

Sessions: Panel 'Artificial intelligence as a tool supporting the creation of coherent and effective law'

Krzysztof Madej, director at the Government Legislation Centre (RCL), joined the panel on AI as a tool for coherent, effective lawmaking — bringing legislative drafting practice into the IGF [3]
RCL's next-day report summarised the forum as addressing 'the development of digital space and key challenges concerning Internet functioning' (translated from Polish) — doubling as post-event confirmation [3]

3. Information Security and Societal Resilience — NASK's Angle

Sessions: Sessions on information security and media education

NASK Cyberpolicy previewed experts discussing 'challenges related to information security, the role of media education, and ways of building social resilience' against growing threats (translated from Polish) [4][2]
The Secure Digital Space track — disinformation and digital hygiene included — carried forward the coordination debate begun at IGF Polska 2024 [4][2]

Three-Minute Short Talk — Your Questions Answered

Q. What kind of meeting was this?

A. Poland's national IGF, expanded to two days for the first time: ministry-curated debates on day one, twenty open-call sessions on day two, free and open to all — from smart cities to AI and quantum.

Q. What was new?

A. Scale and design. Most sessions came from an open call sorted into four tracks, and the Government Legislation Centre joined a panel on using AI to draft coherent law — implementation-stage questions, not abstractions.

Q. Why should I care?

A. AI-assisted legislative drafting is on every government's desk, and the open-call programme model is a ready-made template for national IGFs elsewhere.
