- New research from the University of Maryland (UMD) in collaboration with Microsoft shows that Polish is the most effective language for “prompting” – commanding artificial intelligence, surpassing 25 other languages.
- The results show that English only ranked 6th, despite being widely considered the main language for AI training.
- In tests conducted on large AI models such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek, Polish achieved an average accuracy of 88%, the highest among all 26 tested languages.
- The Top 10 languages best understood by AI include:
- Polish – 88%
- French – 87%
- Italian – 86%
- Spanish – 85%
- Russian – 84%
- English – 83.9%
- Ukrainian – 83.5%
- Portuguese – 82%
- German – 81%
- Dutch – 80%
- Notably, AI surprisingly understood Polish better than humans, even though the amount of Polish language data used for training was much smaller than for English or Chinese.
- Conversely, Chinese was a surprise, falling into the lowest group, ranking 23rd out of 26, showing significantly low command comprehension.
- The report emphasizes that this difference may stem from the rich and varied grammatical structure of Polish, which helps AI determine user intent more accurately.
