The Irish are really into AI, new survey data shows

New survey data reveals uneven adoption of AI across advanced economies.

Ireland stands out: roughly seven in ten workers use AI at least monthly for work, followed by Australia, Germany, and North America.

At the other end, Japan lags. Fewer than one in five workers report professional AI use — less than half the level seen in the US or UK.

Personal AI use outpaces professional use in every country. Even in high-adoption markets, workers experiment with AI on their own faster than employers embed it into workflows; that gap is narrowest in Ireland, suggesting workplace norms and encouragement matter.
