AI giant Anthropic has announced plans to significantly expand its Irish presence, increasing its office space sixfold to accommodate a growing workforce at a new Dublin location. 

The company, which operates the AI chatbot Claude, is hiring an additional 200 people across engineering, sales, finance, legal, compliance and operations. Anthropic said the expansion is a response to strong demand from Europe, with an increasing number of businesses using Claude.

Daniela Amodei, President and co-founder of Anthropic commented: "We’re expanding our Irish operations to meet strong enterprise demand across Europe. What we hear consistently from Europe's largest businesses is that they want AI they can trust — systems that are safe, reliable and built with their interests in mind. 

"That's exactly what Anthropic exists to provide, and Dublin is the ideal base to deliver it. The talent here is exceptional, and we're proud to be deepening our commitment to Ireland at this pivotal moment for AI adoption in Europe."

Welcoming the announcement, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: “Anthropic’s major expansion in Ireland is a strong vote of confidence in our thriving technology ecosystem and our position as a global hub for AI innovation, supported by world-class research, a highly skilled workforce and a pro-innovation policy environment."

IDA Ireland executive director Dónal Travers said: “Artificial intelligence has been identified as a key driver of investment growth within IDA Ireland’s strategy. 

"At this pivotal moment for digital transformation, I am delighted that Anthropic is expanding its presence in Ireland with the creation of 200 new roles, as it scales its international operations.
