US-based data analytics and digital operations provider EXL announced it will open a headquarters for its international business in Ireland.

The company is expected to hire up to 200 staff at its new base in Dublin, including artifical intelligence and data engineers, over the next three years.

“We will look to train AI experts in Ireland to unlock the transformative power of generative AI, revolutionise industries, and drive new business opportunities,” said EXL vice chairman and CEO Rohit Kapoor.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT creator OpenAI recently said it has made plans to open an office in Dublin. These announcements signal better days for tech workers following a slowdown that hit the sector and resulted in mass layoffs, although Ireland escaped the worst of the redundancies.

“Dublin’s exceptional talent pool will help us shape the future of technology, fuelling innovation, and propelling our clients to the forefront of the global AI landscape,” said Mr Kapoor.

EXL’s currently employs more than 8,000 data scientists and 1,500 generative AI experts globally who are developing AI, cloud enablement, and data integration technologies and introducing new technologies to the marketplace.

As part of its expansion into Ireland, EXL announced a new collaboration with University College Dublin through the Irish Government’s Human Capital Initiative.

EXL will also work with the Center for Applied AI or CeADAR, Europe’s Digital Innovation Hub for AI in Ireland.

EXL already has a presence in Ireland and has worked out of the WeWork building in Dublin.
