Dublin-based edtech leader Learnosity has announced the launch of its new AI Labs initiative today, which is aimed at driving world-leading innovation in the education technology space. This ambitious project will see Learnosity, who provide industry-leading assessment technology across a range of high-stakes industries, create over 20 new, high-value, R&D job roles for the next generation of data scientists, product managers, prompt engineers and full stack software engineers focused on operationalising the promise of AI to benefit all. Learnosity co-founder and CEO Gavin Cooney emphasised the organisation's commitment to developing home-grown AI talent. "We want to nurture the next generation of Irish AI experts who can lead the charge in revolutionising edtech. Through this initiative, we're creating Irish-based jobs for the next generation of Irish talent and helping to make Ireland synonymous with AI innovation." Central to the AI Labs's mission is furthering access to emerging technologies. Gavin continues, "We see this as an opportunity to lead by example - to show how AI can create opportunities when guided by an ethical compass. Too often, the benefits of new technology advancements are only truly available to the largest companies and never make it into the hands of educators and students who need them most. We plan to change that." Thomas Byrne, Minister for Sport, Physical Education and the Gaeltacht and TD for Meath East, warmly welcomed the announcement, saying, "This is fantastic news for Ireland. I warmly welcome this investment of 20 new positions in the cutting-edge digital assessment solutions and EdTech sector. It is a wonderful vote of confidence in Ireland's tech sector and the attractive environment that the Government has created. I commend Learnosity for basing these new jobs in Ireland. I wish Learnosity every success and congratulate them on their many achievements across the globe to date." Learnosity, which serves over 40 million users globally, was recently ranked 16th on TIME Magazine's inaugural list of the World's Top EdTech Companies. Ranking 1st for Irish EdTech business and 3rd across European organisations on the list which recognises the top 250 leading forces in the EdTech industry. Applications for the new job roles are now open and prospects are invited to submit their applications via the Learnosity website, here. To find out more about Learnosity, visit learnosity.com.

Last January, the Mid-West Region had been successful in its bid to host the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) for a three-year period from 2025. Limerick, Waterford, and Kerry were to be the locations, with each to be given a year over 2025, 2026 and 2027. Unfortunately, Ireland is no longer being considered to host a round of the World Rally Championship in 2025. Motorsport Ireland made this announcement, with the organisation claiming to have received confirmation from Minister of State for Sport, Thomas Byrne, that the department would need "at least six months" to undertake further independent economic assessments and analysis of the proposal. To get more on this, and find out what Clare and the MidWest will be missing out on, Alan Morrissey was joined by Aiden Harper, President of Motorsport Ireland Representative, Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Alan O'Callaghan and Karen Ronan, the General Manager of the Shannon Region Conference and Sports Bureau.

2023 Sherman Family Korea Emerging Scholar Lecture December 6, 2023 - The Korea Society is pleased to announce that the winner of the 7th Annual Sherman Family Korea Emerging Scholar Lecture Competition is Dr. Munseob Lee, Assistant Professor at the University of California San Diego. Dr. Lee will address The Return of Industrial Policy: Lessons from Korea. Industrial policy is making a comeback. Signs of government intervention in support of industry are visible not only in China, but in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Drawing lessons learned from Korea's experience, Lee provides important insights for today's policy-makers. A notable case to be discussed is the Korean government's implementation of the heavy and chemical industry drive in 1973. While that policy yielded positive outcomes for the targeted industries, it also resulted in a higher concentration within those sectors. Lee emphasizes the intricate nature of industrial policy and stresses the need for a thorough evaluation of its costs and benefits before implementation, especially now given the current bipartisan support for substantial bills in the U.S. aimed at revitalizing industrial policy. As one reviewer stated, “At this critical time Lee revisits the effectiveness of Korean industrial policy during a high development phase to glean useful insights for Korea, U.S., and beyond.” The Lecture is moderated by Thomas Byrne, President and CEO of The Korea Society. The intent of the annual Sherman Family Lecture Award is to grow U.S. thought leadership on Korea for a new generation. The award is presented across disciplines and to emerging thought leaders, from doctoral candidates to junior professors and respective research or non-profit professionals. The award is made possible through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sherman and family.
