AI is reshaping workplace, not replacing jobs, new research finds
Artificial intelligence is changing work in Ireland for the better, according to a new study led by Taha Yasseri, Workday Professor of Technology and Society at Trinity's School of Social Sciences & Philosophy.
A new study commissioned by Technology Ireland DIGITAL Skillnet reveals that AI is transforming workplaces across Ireland, rather than replacing jobs. The research, led by Taha Yasseri from Trinity College Dublin, highlights that AI's impact is primarily through task and workflow transformation rather than job displacement. Workers are increasingly required to review, verify, coordinate and exercise judgment over AI-supported outputs, indicating the growing importance of human-machine partnerships.
While 47.4% of workers reported using AI daily and 69% felt prepared to adapt, there is still a gap between confidence and participation in formal training. Organizations seeing the greatest benefit from AI investment are those focusing on skills development, governance, and practical implementation. The study emphasizes the need for deliberate human-machine partnerships to ensure sustainable and responsible AI adoption in Irish workplaces.
