Policy Assessment
Ireland's AI strategy focuses heavily on attracting AI companies and promoting STEM education while providing only vague promises about worker transition. The Skills Future Ireland initiative offers some upskilling programs, but they're insufficiently scaled and lack specific focus on automation displacement. The government largely treats AI as an opportunity for growth rather than a threat requiring structural response.
