Cllr Collins echoed this and cited the comments of STATS global CEO Carl Mergele who said that the more graduates and masters students that UL produces in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the more he will hire for the Limerick office.
AI and machine learning “is now a particular focus for us here now in Limerick and we are now planning the next phase of Engine, our digital media skills hub on Cecil Street,” Mayor Collins added as he explained that industries are demanding this more and more so Limerick can and is responding.
