  "summary": "FIT, the Fastrack into Information Technology, and Intel have formed a partnership to develop the AI for Future Workforce Programme, aimed at enhancing AI skills among Ireland's workforce. The collaboration will involve the establishment of an AI lab, FIT's inaugural physical training space, which will provide learners with access to necessary infrastructure and technology to experiment with AI in a practical setting. The programme will initially focus on pilot projects before expanding to broader audiences and employer-led upskilling and reskilling initiatives. The initiative intends to address the growing AI skills gap in Ireland by upskilling 400,000 people in AI by 2030.",
