In 2024, the Wisława Szymborska Foundation president Michał Rusinek signed an agreement with [[Polskie Radio]]'s OFF Radio Krakow for the rights to use her voice recordings for [[Generative artificial intelligence#Audio|generated speech]] to be used for an interview-like programme. The programme, broadcast on 29 October that year, was swiftly condemned by both Polish audiences and media producers.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Gera |first1=Vanessa |title=Polish radio station replaces journalists with AI 'presenters' |url=https://apnews.com/article/poland-media-artificial-intelligence-radio-cbae50063b8f125c99a4a0f6d3ee82d8 |access-date=5 November 2024 |work=AP News |publisher=Associated Press |date=23 October 2024 }}</ref>
