Congratulations to Oxylabs.io on achieving unicorn status!

Reaching a $3.6B valuation is a remarkable milestone and a testament to the team’s vision, relentless innovation, and consistent ex*****on. As one of the world’s leading web data infrastructure companies, Oxylabs plays a critical role in enabling AI development, market intelligence, and data-driven innovation.

We’re proud to have Oxylabs as both a member of the AI Chamber CEE and a key partner of the CEE AI Summit. Their journey is a powerful example of how world-class AI and technology companies can be built in Central and Eastern Europe and scale to compete globally.

We're also excited that Oxylabs CEO Vytautas S. will be joining our high-level panel discussion, "From Lab to Market: Scaling CEE's AI Innovation," to share firsthand insights into building a globally competitive powerhouse, the barriers they overcame along the way, and what it truly takes to turn breakthrough innovation into global success.

Congratulations once again to the entire Oxylabs team on this landmark achievement. We look forward to celebrating this milestone together at the hashtag on 3 September in Prague.

In the past few weeks, hashtag experts have been featured across four leading Polish business and technology media, sharing insights on the trends shaping the future of hashtag .

📰 Rzeczpospolita explored how hashtag are transforming hashtag , shifting competition from hashtag to hashtag (Generative Engine Optimization) and redefining customer journeys.
💬 As Roman Rimša, Managing Director at Sigli and our AI Chamber member, noted in the article: "Trust will become less about the brand logo and more about the overall experience: recommendation quality, purchasing convenience, transparent terms, and delivery reliability. Brands will need to be trustworthy not only for people, but also for AI systems."

📰 Rzeczpospolita also analyzed the growing concern around AI model degradation and the risks of training AI on AI-generated content.
💬 CEO of AISEEMO sp. z o.o. and our AI Chamber member Michał Grega highlighted: "The real issue isn't that AI is becoming 'less intelligent'. Models recursively trained on synthetic content gradually lose their ability to represent the real distribution of data, with rare and critical cases disappearing first."

📰 On the other hand, Wirtualnemedia.pl examined the implications of the hashtag model restrictions, highlighting why technological hashtag become a strategic priority for Europe.
💬 And as Mateusz Solecki, President of Przedsiębiorcze Trójmiasto, AI Business Consultant and our member, pointed out: "This is proof that Europe must build its own AI models. But it's also a warning that politics is becoming deeply intertwined with technology. We cannot accept a future where a single government decision can disable products used by millions."

Last but not least, Rzeczpospolita also covered the changing economics of AI, as the market moves beyond subsidized hashtag toward value-based business models.
💬 Krzysztof W., Managing Director at Kruko and our member, emphasized in the article: "Those who sell tokens compete on price. Those who solve business problems create value. Companies must stop budgeting AI based on subscription fees and start measuring the real cost and ROI of every AI-powered process."

AI Chamber took part in the European Commission consultation on the implementation of the AI Act for high-risk AI systems.

Our submission reflects the expertise of our members and focuses on practical issues that matter to AI providers and deployers, including:
• Clearer interpretation of key hashtag concepts
• Proportionate conformity assessment requirements
• Greater legal certainty around biometric data and bias monitoring
• Better alignment with existing hashtag legislation, including the hashtag

We believe that effective AI regulation should protect fundamental rights while fostering innovation through clear, practical, and proportionate rules. This contribution is another step in ensuring that the voice of industry is part of shaping Europe's AI future.

We’re delighted to announce that Ekaterina Zaharieva, European Commission for Startups, Research and Innovation, will join the CEE AI Summit as a keynote speaker.

At a defining moment for Europe’s technological future, Commissioner Zaharieva is leading efforts to strengthen the continent’s innovation ecosystem, empower startups, and accelerate the adoption of research and cutting-edge technologies.

Central and Eastern Europe has world-class engineering talent and a strong technical foundation, but how do we translate that into global leadership in AI?

Where can CEE build a genuine competitive advantage? How can the EU help unlock the region’s full potential? And how do we ensure there is real demand across Europe for AI startups and scaleups from our region?

These are some of the key questions we’ll explore together at the on 3 September in Prague.

27/07/2026

The headlines around the Bartz v. Anthropic settlement have led many to believe that the court ruled AI training on copyrighted works is illegal. At first glance, the final $1.5 billion settlement might indeed seem to confirm that using copyrighted works to train AI is unlawful.

But that is not what the case was about.

The settlement resolved claims arising from Anthropic's use of approximately 500,000 pirated books. It did not overturn the court's earlier finding that training AI models on lawfully acquired books can qualify as fair use. Instead, it reinforces an important distinction between the legality of how training data is acquired and the legality of training AI models itself.

This distinction has significant implications for the future of AI copyright litigation. The debate is no longer simply whether AI training is lawful, but under what conditions, with what data, and where the boundaries of copyright protection should be drawn.

In our latest AI Chamber CEE political statement, we explain why the Bartz settlement should not be misunderstood as a rejection of fair use for AI training, what the court actually decided, and what this means for developers, creators, and policymakers.

👉 AI Chamber has been appointed to the European AI Act Advisory Forum by the European Commission.

We have been selected as a member of the Act Advisory Forum at the European AI Office, becoming one of only 18 entities from the region represented in the Forum, together accounting for just over 10% of its total membership.

This appointment is an important milestone not only for our organization, but also for the broader Central and Eastern European AI ecosystem. As part of the Advisory Forum, we will contribute our expertise to support the implementation of the EU AI Act, helping ensure that innovation, competitiveness, and trustworthy AI development remain at the heart of Europe's AI future.

We are proud to help strengthen the voice of the CEE region in shaping Europe's AI landscape, while recognising that there is still significant work ahead to further connect, support, and activate the region's AI community.

Unleash the Debate: Will AI consume the planet? ⚡

Our Oxford-style debate brought together two perspectives on one of the most important questions of our time: the environmental impact of AI.

And the audience verdict❓
Almost perfectly 50/50.

Not a coincidence - but a signal.
A signal that we are still collectively forming a shared understanding of AI, energy, and sustainability.

The room was full of energy, strong opinions, sharp questions, and real-time rebuttals. Fast-paced arguments, ad vocem interventions, and a level of engagement that made this format truly come alive.

Most importantly - an exceptional group of panelists who brought clarity, depth, and character to the discussion:

PROPOSITION:
Antoni Wisniewski (COO, Solutionspace)
Weronika Czaplewska (COO, Quantifier AI)
Joanna Andryszczak (Blue Amber Strategy Consultants / Coffideas)

OPPOSITION:
Magdalena Wojtas (CEO, Syncretix)
Maciej Zaleski (Founder & CEO, go2ops)
Adam Sobczak (CEO, Pricer)

Moderation: Marcin Olender

A huge thank you to all of you for preparation, energy, and the quality of argumentation - this was exactly the level of discussion we hoped for.

Special thanks to our host Allegro, for providing not only an outstanding venue, but also great support and hospitality throughout the event. It made a real difference.

This debate was a side event of the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2026, and it perfectly captured what this broader conversation is about: questioning assumptions, confronting data with narratives, and creating space for real dialogue.

More to come.
