There has been a big jump in demand for workers with artificial intelligence (AI) skills, according to new research.
The latest Talent Tracker from Accenture, which analyses data from LinkedIn, reveals a 142% increase in demand for professionals in the field of AI.
There has also been strong growth in vacancies in the areas of data analytics and cloud computing.
The research shows that Ireland has experienced a significant surge in technology job postings over the past six months.
Data and AI now account for nearly 42% of Ireland's total technology talent pool.
Dublin accounts for a substantial 63.2% of the country's overall technology workforce, marking a rise from 59% in the previous six-month period.
"It's encouraging to observe a notable rise in the jobs posted across the country, especially in the emerging technology sectors," said Audrey O'Mahony, Managing Director and Head of Talent & Organisation at Accenture in Ireland.
"This is likely driven by a combination of factors including increasing demand for skills in areas including AI, cloud computing, and data analytics, the rise in remote work, and the general acceleration of digital transformation efforts to stay competitive," Ms O'Mahony said.
