US ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE company Anthropic, the parent company of AI assistant Claude, has announced plans to create 200 jobs in Dublin by 2027.

The roles will be across areas including engineering, sales, finance, legal and compliance, and operations.

The company is also expanding its Dublin office space six-fold to around 21,000 square feet to accommodate the additional staff.

Anthropic said the expansion comes as demand for its AI chatbot Claude continues to rise, with the firm reporting its revenue across Europe, the Middle East and Africa has increased eleven-fold year on year.

Irish companies including Wayflyer, Manna and Tines are among businesses using the technology.

The Claude AI assistant app has also recently topped the free iPhone apps chart in Ireland.

President and co-founder Daniela Amodei said the expansion reflects strong demand from European businesses for reliable AI systems.

“We’re expanding our Irish operations to meet strong enterprise demand across Europe,” Amodei said.

“The talent here is exceptional, and we’re proud to be deepening our commitment to Ireland at this pivotal moment for AI adoption in Europe,” she added.

Welcoming the announcement, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the expansion was a “strong vote of confidence” in the country’s “thriving technology ecosystem and our position as a global hub for AI innovation”.

Anthropic established its European headquarters in Dublin in 2024 as part of its expansion in the region.

The company was founded in 2021 by former employees of OpenAI, including siblings Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei.

The announcement comes as demand for AI-related skills continues to grow in Ireland.

A recent Department of Finance report in February found the share of job postings mentioning AI almost doubled between late 2024 and late 2025.

However, the report also found early signs that AI could be affecting hiring patterns, particularly for younger workers, with employment among 15- to 29-year-olds declining in sectors considered most exposed to automation.
