After 25 years of AI Research, Trinity College Dublin’s Adapt Centre researchers have recently declared that Ireland can be recognised as an Island of artificial intelligence, data analytics, machine learning, human-machine interaction and optimisation.
Why?
Ireland is home to a vibrant open AI ecosystem for collaboration and community. Many corporations in Ireland have established centres on data analytics, cloud computing, big data and future internet.
Google, for example, launched a support hub for AI startups in Dublin last year. Google’s AI Launchpad Studio is designed to provide technical and product support to entrepreneurs who work with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Moreover, Ireland became the first country in the world to develop an industry-driven nationwide Post Graduate MSc in Artificial Intelligence in 2017, when the University of Limerick introduced a master’s level course in artificial intelligence.

Ireland is definitely an attractive area for investment in emerging technologies.
