1 in 10 job postings now reference AI

New research from Indeed shows that one in ten (11%) job postings in Ireland mention AI, leading ahead of the US, UK, France and Germany. This trend is reflective of the tech sector’s sizable footprint in the Irish economy.

Job postings which mention AI are most frequently seen in tech-related categories, led by data & analytics (56%). That’s followed by software development (48%), IT systems & solutions (37%) and IT infrastructure, operations & support (29%). However, several non-tech categories also have significant shares of AI postings, including arts & entertainment (24%), human resources (20%) and sales (19%).

The research also shows that remote and hybrid work mentions have reached a new high of 19.4% by the end of December 2025 – more than four times higher than pre-pandemic levels. The occupations with the highest share of remote or hybrid mentions include software development (47%), media & communications (44%) and data & analytics (43%).

Indeed’s report shows that while job postings in Ireland are well down from peaks seen in early 2022, they still remain 7% above their pre-pandemic baseline as of January 2026. The level of postings has also remained relatively stable since May.

Other key findings in the report include:

  • Salary transparency growth has stalled: The share of Irish job postings which include salary information has dipped recently to around 34%, its lowest since late-2022. The report highlights how the Irish Government’s transposing of incoming EU legislation will result in increased transparency.
  • Benefit offerings have levelled off: The share of Irish job postings mentioning at least one benefit has levelled off over the past 18 months, after rising steadily since 2018. Standing at 48% in November, the share was unchanged from its level in May 2024.
  • Foreign interest in Irish jobs remains high: The Irish labour market remains attractive to foreign workers. On average in 2025, around 13% of searches for Irish jobs on Indeed originated outside Ireland. That was broadly in line with 2024 and higher than seen in recent years since at least 2017.
  • Posted wage growth remains solid: Tight labour-market conditions continue to translate into strong pay pressures in Ireland. At 4.1% in December (on a three-month average basis), wage growth as measured by the Indeed Wage Tracker remains well above the euro area average (2.5%).

Commenting on the report, Jack Kennedy, senior economist at Indeed, said:

“Ireland enters 2026 with the economy in good shape. Growth is set to slow slightly after a strong 2025, but lower interest rates and continued government spending mean the outlook remains broadly positive: jobs are still being created, unemployment remains low, but pay pressures haven’t gone away. For workers and employers alike, this year’s labour market story is one of ongoing change and adaptability.

For jobseekers, AI is rapidly reshaping how work gets done, with a clear expectation emerging for workers across all sectors to be comfortable using AI tools, even in roles that aren’t traditionally tech-focused. Those who adapt to these skills will have a competitive edge, as employers increasingly seek ways to integrate AI into their processes.

From an employer perspective, hybrid and flexible working have moved from a perk to an expectation in 2026, and they will need to keep this in mind when recruiting. The organisations that will stand out will be those offering not just competitive salaries, but transparency, flexibility and support for employees navigating a rapidly changing work environment.”

Irish businesses must do more to assure consumers on data and cyber security

Nearly one in four Irish people has had their personal data compromised, new research from eir business reveals, highlighting low levels of consumer confidence in how companies manage and protect customer information.

The survey on the security of Irish businesses also highlighted that almost half (44%) of Irish consumers do not feel informed about how their data is used by companies, while 40% are not confident their data is safe.

These results offer insights into the prevalence of cybercrime for everyday consumers, and the role Irish businesses can play in safeguarding data and alleviating customer concerns.

Alongside the survey, eir business (formerly eir evo) has revealed a new corporate identity, reflecting the evolution of the B2B telecoms and IT service provider.

The eir business/Amarách survey highlights concern about how businesses manage the security and transparency of vital personal information.

This vulnerability is reflected in the fact that only 16% of people are confident that Irish businesses are protecting their personal information. Older generations are even less likely to feel comfortable with the security of their online data, with 51% of 55–64-year-olds not trusting businesses to protect their information.

While artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are often suggested for data management, almost half (45%) of those surveyed are still unsure of what benefits AI might bring when dealing with business. However, the expectation of faster (30%) and cheaper (26%) service, alongside 24/7 availability (32%) as a result of AI business processes were highlighted.

Susan Brady, Managing Director of eir business: “Businesses across Ireland are operating in a time of rapid and complex digital change, and consumers are rightly asking for greater protection, greater transparency, and partners they can trust.

“This research highlights that expectation clearly. People want confidence that their data is safe, that companies are accountable, and that technology is being used responsibly. Meeting those expectations isn’t optional, it’s now a core requirement for every organisation.

“As we transform from eir evo to eir business, our focus is on bringing that clarity and confidence to the market. We’re here to give businesses secure, managed solutions they can rely on, supported by the scale, expertise and engineering depth that sits at the heart of this organisation. “Our mission is to make the complex feel effortless, to help organisations stay protected against emerging threats, and to empower them to grow and thrive in a digital-first Ireland.”

Oliver Loomes, CEO of eir, added: “The findings of this research send a clear message: customers want greater transparency, stronger protection of their data, and partners they can trust. As Ireland’s digital economy accelerates, businesses of every size are facing rising expectations and increasing complexity.

“Our rebrand to eir business reflects both the scale of this opportunity and our commitment to meeting these needs head‑on. By uniting the full strength of eir’s networks, technology and expertise, we are positioned to deliver the secure connectivity, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions that organisations rely on to operate with confidence. This is a pivotal moment in our evolution, one that strengthens Ireland’s digital resilience and supports our purpose to Connect for a Better Ireland.”

AI, Data and BEVs Power a New Model for European Long-Haul Transport

Scania Ventures, LOTS Group and JUNA Technologies, together with carrier HAWA, operate one of Europe’s longest electric truck routes, demonstrating that high utilisation, long-haul battery-electric transport is commercially viable already today.

By combining LOTS Group’s AI-based platform Pathfinder with JUNAS’s electrified vehicle solutions and Hawa’s operational logistics expertise, the partners are creating a scalable model for electrified long-distance logistics in Europe. The 1,250-kilometre corridor is already operating in daily commercial service across central Europe. The partnership prioritises operational quality and cost efficiency, demonstrating how intelligent planning, effective asset utilisation, and robust daily operational management can help customers minimise their CO₂ emissions.

LOTS uses Pathfinder to analyse routes, charging requirements and shipment data to design and optimise electric long-haul operations under real-world conditions. This enables the partners to simulate various scenarios, minimise operational risk and adjust routes prior to broader deployment.

At the same time, the setup is designed to be scalable. By analysing operational data over time, the corridor can adapt to new transport flows and be expanded to include additional zero-emission capacity as infrastructure and customer needs evolve.

JUNA provides access to electric truck capacity via a pay-per-use model, thereby reducing barriers to entry for battery-electric long-haul transport. The partners have together created a fully integrated, end-to-end electric corridor that functions in day-to-day operations.

“With Pathfinder, we can design and run electric routes that meet customer requirements and real-world road conditions. The platform enables us to simulate different scenarios, reduce risk and optimise flows before moving into full-scale operations,” says Johan Palmqvist, Managing Director at LOTS Group Europe.

“For JUNA Technologies, this corridor proves that electric long-haul transport is not a pilot project but a viable, day-to-day solution,” says Johan Kjellner, Managing Director and COO at JUNA Technologies. “By integrating our electric truck capacity into a data-driven, AI-optimised network, we can deliver reliable, zero-emission transport at scale”

Electric long-haul road transport is often portrayed as a solution that will only become commercially viable around 2030. This corridor challenges that narrative by demonstrating that heavy battery-electric vehicles can reliably run demanding inter-city stretches with tight delivery deadlines, and ensure year-round utilisation.

Hidden Hearing Introduces Oticon Zeal

Groundbreaking new hearing device delivers exceptional sound quality, always-on AI sound processing and full modern connectivity, with a virtually unseen design

It addresses the overlooked consequences of hearing loss in the workplace and beyond

Hidden Hearing, Ireland’s leading provider of hearing healthcare, has announced the arrival of a breakthrough in hearing technology with the launch of Oticon Zeal. This next-generation hearing device combines exceptional sound quality, always-on AI sound processing and full modern connectivity in a remarkably discreet form.

Not everyone sees themselves in traditional hearing aids and with that in mind Oticon designed something different, discreet, elegant and effortless.It looks and feels more like the earbuds that many people already wear. It’s an exceptional hearing aid without the compromise or stigma of conventional designs.

With Zeal, seeing is believing. It’s the hearing aid for people who never thought they’d wear one. It delivers intelligent, high-performance hearing with seamless connectivity to today’s digital world, while remaining virtually invisible in use.

For many people, particularly those in fast-paced and demanding roles, hearing loss becomes a silent challenge. Missed information in meetings, increased listening effort and end-of-day fatigue can all affect performance long before someone realises hearing is the root cause. Despite this, most people delay seeking help for seven to ten years, often due to concerns about visibility, stigma and the belief that they must compromise on either discretion or performance.

“We regularly meet people who are coping rather than thriving at work,” said Dolores Madden, Marketing Director for Hidden Hearing. “They are working harder just to keep up, without realising how much untreated hearing loss is impacting their focus, confidence and energy. By launching this premium product in our clinics, we’re offering a solution that supports people in their working and social lives without drawing attention or requiring compromise.”

In the modern workplace, clear communication is critical. Untreated hearing loss can quietly undermine productivity, collaboration and confidence, particularly in meetings, open-plan offices and hybrid working environments. Supporting clearer hearing can reduce mental strain and help people stay engaged, effective and confident throughout the day.

“I see patients with hearing loss that is often left untreated due to perceived stigma around it,” said Dr Clodagh Gallagher, Medical Advisor for Hidden Hearing. “They also experience mental fatigue, frustration and a drop in confidence at work as a result. When you have clear hearing, it supports better decision-making, stronger communication and overall performance.”

This new innovation addresses the often unseen impact of untreated hearing loss on people’s professional performance, confidence and everyday wellbeing.

A significant barrier to early treatment is the belief that people must choose between discretion and performance. Many delay addressing hearing loss because they don’t want a visible device to define them professionally or socially.

Stigma remains one of the most powerful reasons people put off seeking help. Hearing loss affects people of all ages, yet outdated perceptions continue to hold many back.

“One of the most damaging myths around hearing loss is that it’s something to hide or ignore,” added Dr Gallagher. “The longer people wait, the more impact it can have on their personal and professional lives. Discreet, modern solutions like this help remove that stigma and encourage people to take action earlier.”

Oticon Zeal is designed to fit effortlessly into everyday life, offering a personalised hearing solution for people who want to stay active, social and fully engaged. Whether in quiet moments, busy social settings, at work, enjoying sport or listening to music, it adapts naturally to different environments while maintaining exceptional sound quality and connectivity.

With state-of-the-art innovations like Oticon Zeal now available in Hidden Hearing clinics nationwide, the organisation continues its commitment to helping people hear clearly, perform confidently and stay fully connected to their work and lives without

How Smart Home Technology Can Prevent Serious Slip and Fall Injuries

Home safety has taken on a different dimension in recent years with the rise of smart home technology. Devices that once seemed futuristic are now widely accessible, offering homeowners the ability to monitor and control their environment in ways that directly influence health and safety. For those concerned about the risk of slip and fall injuries, these tools provide both proactive and reactive solutions, helping to create a safer living space for people of all ages.

The integration of smart sensors, automated lighting, and connected devices can transform how we approach everyday hazards. Motion-activated lights illuminate hallways and staircases, while smart flooring or grip-enhancing devices can reduce the chances of unexpected slips. With more households adopting these technologies, what used to be a reactive measure after accidents is now evolving into a preventative framework that can significantly reduce personal injuries.

Smart home systems also offer peace of mind by alerting users to potential risks before accidents occur. Water sensors, for example, detect leaks and spills in real time, which can prevent slippery surfaces from becoming dangerous. For families with elderly members, smart fall detectors provide immediate notifications to caregivers, allowing for swift assistance. The combination of early warning systems and automated safety measures creates an environment that reduces both anxiety and actual risk.

Slip and Fall in the Modern Household

According to www.accidentlawyerelite.com, slip and fall accidents remain one of the most common causes of injury in residential settings. Wet floors, loose rugs, cluttered hallways, and poorly lit staircases all contribute to these incidents. In many cases, these accidents can result in serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, or long-term mobility issues, especially for older adults. Recognizing the frequency of these events is essential for designing safer homes.

Technology is increasingly being used to mitigate these risks. Smart flooring, anti-slip coatings, and integrated monitoring systems allow homeowners to address hazards before they result in injury. By combining environmental modifications with real-time alerts, the likelihood of a slip or fall decreases. In addition, devices that track movement patterns can provide data to identify problem areas, ensuring that interventions are targeted and effective. These advancements make a measurable difference in the safety and comfort of everyday life.

Modern households often struggle to balance aesthetics with safety. While traditional safety measures like handrails and non-slip mats are helpful, they may not integrate seamlessly into contemporary design. Smart home technology bridges this gap by offering solutions that are both functional and discreet. For instance, ambient lighting that responds to movement can enhance visibility without altering the home’s decor. Such innovations make it easier for homeowners to maintain a visually pleasing environment without compromising on safety.

How Technology Supports Injury Prevention

Preventing injuries before they occur is the central promise of smart home technology. Devices such as motion sensors, automated lighting, and intelligent flooring work in tandem to create a safer living environment. For those concerned about personal injury risks, the technology provides tools that constantly monitor, adapt, and alert residents to potential hazards. This continuous vigilance is something that traditional safety measures cannot match.

Beyond physical safeguards, data-driven insights from smart systems help homeowners make informed decisions. Tracking patterns of movement, floor usage, and environmental changes allows residents to identify areas prone to slips or other hazards. This information can guide modifications in layout or prompt the installation of additional protective measures. With technology providing constant feedback, the likelihood of unexpected injuries diminishes, making homes more responsive to the needs of their occupants.

Smart devices also assist in emergency situations, ensuring that accidents receive prompt attention. Fall detection systems notify family members or emergency services instantly if an individual experiences a sudden loss of balance. These alerts not only facilitate rapid response but also provide peace of mind to those living alone or caring for vulnerable family members. The combination of proactive prevention and reactive support represents a comprehensive approach to home safety in the digital age.

Integration with Everyday Life

One of the key advantages of smart home technology is its seamless integration into daily routines. Unlike traditional safety devices that may require deliberate action, smart systems operate passively, responding automatically to changes in the environment. This ensures that protection is continuous and does not rely solely on human intervention, which is particularly important in preventing slip and fall accidents.

Automation extends beyond simple sensors, encompassing interconnected devices that communicate with one another. For example, a water leak detected by a sensor can trigger floor drying systems or lights to guide residents safely away from the area. Similarly, motion sensors can adjust lighting in dim corridors or stairways, reducing tripping hazards during nighttime movement. This interconnected ecosystem of devices transforms the home into a responsive, adaptive environment that continuously enhances safety without imposing additional effort on residents.

Moreover, technology encourages habits that support injury prevention. Regular notifications and environmental cues can prompt residents to address potential hazards such as clutter, spills, or loose flooring. Over time, these reminders help cultivate a culture of vigilance that extends beyond the technology itself. Residents become more attuned to potential risks, further reducing the likelihood of accidents while fostering a sense of confidence in their living space.

The Role of Smart Assistive Devices

Assistive devices integrated into smart homes extend protection to those who are most vulnerable. Elderly residents, individuals recovering from injuries, and people with mobility challenges benefit from systems that combine monitoring, alerts, and environmental adjustments. These devices reduce dependence on constant supervision while offering immediate responses in the event of a slip or fall.

Wearable technology complements environmental solutions by providing continuous monitoring of physical activity and potential hazards. Smart watches or fall detection bands can detect sudden changes in movement and trigger alerts, even if the individual is away from home. When integrated with home systems, these devices ensure that accidents are noticed immediately and help reduce recovery time by facilitating quick intervention. The combination of wearable and environmental technology represents a holistic approach to injury prevention that is both practical and effective.

As technology advances, these devices are becoming more intelligent and adaptable. Machine learning algorithms analyze movement patterns and environmental conditions, optimizing alerts and interventions over time. The result is a home that not only reacts to incidents but also anticipates them, reducing the likelihood of injuries before they occur. Residents gain both protection and confidence, knowing that their environment is continuously monitoring for potential risks and adapting to their needs.

The Future of Safe Living

Smart home technology is reshaping how we think about personal safety and injury prevention. By combining sensors, automation, and real-time monitoring, these systems provide an unprecedented level of protection against common accidents like slip and fall injuries. Residents benefit from both immediate alerts and long-term preventive measures, creating a safer, more secure home environment for all members of the household.

The evolution of technology promises even more advanced solutions in the near future. Homes will increasingly feature predictive systems that anticipate hazards before they occur, while AI-driven devices will provide personalized safety recommendations based on residents’ habits. As these innovations become more widespread, the potential to significantly reduce injuries and improve quality of life becomes increasingly achievable, offering a compelling vision of safer, smarter living.

In addition to technological advancements, education and awareness remain critical. Homeowners who understand how to utilize their devices effectively can maximize the benefits of their investment in smart safety. Combining proactive maintenance, thoughtful placement of sensors, and continuous monitoring ensures that homes remain protective spaces. The collaboration between technology and responsible household management marks a new era in personal safety, transforming homes into environments that actively support well-being and prevent accidents.

 

Extend Short Footage Naturally Using an AI Video Agent

Powerful moments are often captured with the use of short video clips, but they rarely work independently. Artists take fantastic pictures, and when the ideas are developing, the shooting is interrupted. Such a disconnection inhibits narration, diminishes memory, and limits action on social media. Even brief content forms need contemporary audiences to possess flow, clarity, and satisfactory endings.

In this context, Pippit introduces its intelligent video agent to extend clips naturally without disrupting tone or meaning. The platform does not worry about repetition but continuity, and in this regard, short footage can be built into a more comprehensive story. Pippit does not add seconds; it dismantles and puts value deliberately.

Why Manual Video Extension Breaks Flow

Manual video extension can be based on the repetition of scenes or irrelevant fillers. These tricks interfere with the flow and make the content bloated rather than better. Soon, viewers are affected by the sense of repetition, and this causes them to fall off and lose interest. Tripping over words and unsuitable images negate the authority of the message.

Abnormal rhythm also causes visual fatigue. The immersion is disturbed by abrupt changes in velocity, tone, or framing. Human editors may not be able to make a good guess about the effect of long blocks on cross-platform flow. The AI-based systems avoid such pitfalls by understanding motion patterns, scene context, and timing of the narrative and generating new frames.

Understanding Natural Video Continuity

The continuity of nature depends on the relationship between frames. Motion prediction is significant because it predicts the movement between the current frames of the subject. Frame consistency gives the uniformity of lighting, angles, and textures throughout a lengthy segment of footage. These points prevent the unnatural nature that is usually associated with artificial additions.

The pace of storytelling is also significant. The clips have their inner rhythm, which is defined by the motion and emotion. Artificial padding does not consider this rhythm, but the intelligent extension considers it. Cutups are smooth and easy to follow, and the additional time is not forced and can be intentional.

How Pippit Extends Clips Without Losing Authenticity

Pippit recreates the missing frames in an ingenious manner because he sees their movement and the images that exist. The system is not a copy of scenes but includes context-related additions. The approach is authentic and enhances clarity. The viewer experiences the stream of nature as opposed to the recycling of the material.

The platform enhances the circumstances surrounding rather than reproducing footage. Small camera movements, continuity of the surroundings, and logical progression of the scene are stimulating. Pippit gives extensions up to sixty seconds, which gives creators freedom to be flexible without losing realism. This balance converts fragments into cohesive narratives.

Steps To Extend Short Footage Naturally Using An AI Video Agent

Step 1: Upload and guide footage extension

Start by accessing Pippit and signing up. Go to the “Video generator” tab and click “Choose a model. Select “Agent mode” from the drop-down menu. Add a text prompt that explains how the short footage should extend naturally. Upload original clips or references using the “Add media” tab. Files can come from a local device, phone, Dropbox, or link. Assets are also available if needed. Click the up arrow tab once setup is complete.

Step 2: AI-driven video expansion

The AI video generator in Pippit automatically edits and generates your extended video based on the text prompt and reference media. 

It controls transitions, pacing, and video enhancements to keep the extension seamless. To refine the flow, adjust the text prompt and click the up arrow again. For manual fine-tuning, click the video and open the “edit more” tab in the top right corner to reach the main editing interface of Pippit.

Step 3: Final edits and delivery

Edit captions manually and add supporting text where required. Customize size, color, and alignment for consistency. Apply filters, effects, background music, or remove background distractions. 

When the extended video looks right, click the “Export” tab in the top right corner. Publish directly using “Publish” on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook, or use the “Download” tab to save the video with preferred format, resolution, frame rate, quality, and file name.

Turning Micro-Clips into Full-Length Social Videos

Micro-clips are more of a teaser than a complete message. Their growth transforms short accents into structured narratives. Pippit adds depth but not distraction by visual and emotional congruency. Each moment gained is in favor of the first intention.

This technique keeps the audience in suspense and not puzzled. The flow of fluids will encourage the viewers to stay and drink the message. The result is a pre-conceived piece rather than a long snippet.

Enhancing Watch Time Through AI-Driven Flow

Content that elicits attention is rewarded in social networks. Relevance and quality to algorithms are reflected in the duration of watch time. The flow of the AI is smooth in the long term. The viewers experience less shocking edits and visual fatigue.
