OpenAI says it will add 200 jobs in Dublin and build a second applied AI lab at its EU headquarters. The company says the hiring brings its planned Irish total to 450 roles. The announcements position Dublin as a growing base for OpenAI’s work in Europe and follow a recent round of planned Irish hiring.
Multiple outlets report that OpenAI already employs more than 120 people in Ireland and has had an EU headquarters in Dublin for about three years. Bloomberg frames the move as further evidence of OpenAI’s rapid growth at its European base. Quartz and The Next Web focus on the scale of the new hiring and the addition of another lab, while the Irish Independent ties the decision to the broader acceleration of AI-related investment in the country. The Next Web also notes the timing ahead of Ireland hosting the International AI Summit under its EU presidency.
