World smallest violin for Ireland.

Their 'tech industry' is just admin/HQ jobs due to the <2% corporate tax rate which itself is designed steal the rest of the West's tax base.

the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount


This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won't work.

I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don't get anything done of value of to the company.

It's like trying to push a door that says pull.
