Briefly

The Irish have taken a liking to AI. Japan, not so much.
"Indeed survey data paints a stark picture of uneven AI engagement across advanced economies. The chart below shows a clear frontrunner: Ireland stands out, with roughly seven in ten workers using AI at least monthly for work, followed by Australia, Germany, and North America. At the other end sits Japan, where fewer than one in five workers report professional AI use - less than half the level seen in the US or UK."
"One striking pattern cuts across all countries: personal AI use consistently outpaces professional use. Even in high-adoption markets, workers are experimenting with AI on their own faster than employers are embedding it into workflows. That gap is narrowest in Ireland, suggesting workplace norms and encouragement matter. Sign up for BI's Tech Memo newsletter here. Reach out to me via email at abarr@businessinsider.com."
Survey data show uneven AI engagement across advanced economies, with stark national differences in professional use. Ireland leads with roughly seven in ten workers using AI at least monthly for work, while Australia, Germany, and North America follow. Japan records fewer than one in five workers using AI professionally, less than half the level seen in the US or UK. Personal AI use exceeds professional use in every country, reflecting faster individual experimentation than employer-driven integration. The gap between personal and workplace AI use is smallest in Ireland, implying workplace norms and encouragement influence adoption.
