Ireland is ahead of the pack when it comes to AI adoption in the workplace, according to new research from hiring platform Indeed.<\/p>\n
The study found that 70% of workers in Ireland report using AI at work more than once per month, the highest rate among eight surveyed countries.<\/p>\n
It compares with 43% in the United States, 41% in the UK and just 18% in Japan.<\/p>\n
The Indeed Workforce Insights Report surveyed 80,000 workers, including 10,000 in Ireland.<\/p>\n
In Ireland, 37% of workers report high levels of employer encouragement to use AI, compared to just 12% in Japan.<\/p>\n
Across all eight countries, the report highlights that workers whose employers actively encourage AI use are significantly more likely to actually use AI at work.<\/p>\n
In Ireland, the majority of AI users reported meaningful time savings from the technology with only a small minority reporting no time savings at all.<\/p>\n
Across all countries surveyed, personal AI use was higher than professional use.<\/p>\n
In Ireland, 72% of respondents report using AI personally, compared with 70% using it at work.<\/p>\n
“As AI becomes a more central part of everyday work, our research highlights the importance of training to help people at all levels,” said Jack Kennedy, Senior Economist at Indeed.<\/p>\n
“Even among regular AI users, many say they are not receiving enough support at work, showing that one-off introductions or informal learning won’t be sufficient as AI tools continue to evolve.”<\/p>\n
“At the same time, some concentrated groups of workers remain disengaged and see little need for training, which could widen existing gaps in the labour market,” Mr Kennedy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland is ahead of the pack when it comes to AI adoption in the workplace, according to new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-302129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
