ZUS will improve controls on Poles. It focuses on technological weapons
ZUS is looking for new solutions that will not only improve the work of officials, but will also allow for more effective inspections of Poles.
The Social Insurance Institution announced on its website that it is opening up to solutions related to artificial intelligence. In this way, the office wants to improve the work of its employees. AI is already being used today to select payers for inspection, but ZUS wants to use the possibilities of new technologies even more widely.
Today – in the era of widely discussed use of AI – as ZUS we also want to use new possibilities. We must do this in a very thoughtful way, after carefully checking and analyzing many aspects of using this type of technology. We must be sure that what we will use will be safe and secure.
– says Sławomir Wasielewski, member of the ZUS management board supervising the Systems Operations and Exploitation Division.
ZUS wants to improve controls on Poles
ZUS assures that AI is to help employees with simple tasks and thus save their time, which they can use for other tasks. The main goal is to optimize work. However, it is difficult to fully believe these announcements, because a few months ago, the president of ZUS, Zbigniew Derdziuk, announced that artificial intelligence is to be used for effective control of Poles.
I would like ZUS to start using artificial intelligence in its anti-fraud policy in the coming years, e.g. by automatically verifying people or entities in many sources in order to avoid abuse.
– said the president of ZUS in an interview with Rzeczpospolita.
In fact, it is already happening today. Already at the end of 2023, ZUS used artificial intelligence to select 2.6 thousand payers for inspection. Although the final decision is always to be made by a human, AI – based on available data – decided which Poles are at greater risk of detecting irregularities. Now, the Social Insurance Institution clearly wants to go a step further.
