Alan Healy: AI is coming for young Irish people's jobs
Data from LinkedIn shows the concentration of AI talent in Ireland is among the highest in the world – and the 4th highest in the EU.
It was just under two years ago when the then-finance minister Michael McGrath made headlines when he said that a third of jobs in Ireland could be at risk from artificial intelligence (AI).
He was speaking of research from the department of finance, which said 63% of employment in Ireland would be impacted by AI. At the time, AI was still spoken of in terms like "emerging technology" but the warning about the potential impact on our labour market, positive and negative, was stark.
