Entry level jobs in the technology sector are beginning to be impacted by growth in Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to a report by the Department of Finance.<\/p>\n
The study said sectors of the economy which are more exposed to AI are showing signs of weaker employment growth.<\/p>\n
The Department said that Ireland is more exposed than other advanced economies on average.<\/p>\n
It said that as a result Ireland may be among the first countries where the effects become measurable.<\/p>\n
Job advertisements from recruitment company Indeed show that 11% of postings mention AI, up from 4% in November 2023.<\/p>\n
This is three times the share of both the EU and US.<\/p>\n
The report said Ireland is placed fifth in the world in terms of the concentration of AI talent.<\/p>\n
Minister for Finance Simon Harris said that the Irish labour market has shown “remarkable resilience in recent years”.<\/p>\n
“We are now entering a period of profound technological change. We must also ensure that workers and firms are equipped to adapt,” he said.<\/p>\n
“This means investing in skills, supporting life-long learning, and continuing to roll out enterprise supports that help firms adopt and deploy new technologies,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Entry level jobs in the technology sector are beginning to be impacted by growth in Artificial Intelligence (AI),…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86985,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-303917","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\/303917","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=303917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
