OpenAI announced on Monday that it will more than triple its workforce at its European headquarters in Dublin to 350 employees. The ChatGPT maker currently employs over 100 people at its Dublin office, which opened in 2023, and plans to hire 250 more over the next two years in engineering and support operations. The company is leasing 8,000 square meters (88,000 square feet) of office space in Dublin's Silicon Docks area. Dublin hosts European headquarters for many US tech giants including Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft. Foreign multinationals, particularly in tech and pharma, employ about 11% of Irish workers, attracted by the highly educated workforce and favorable tax regime. The announcement comes as some large tech firms like Meta and TikTok have cut jobs in Ireland, and the government has identified AI as a priority for attracting new investment.
