Trinity Business School

Summer on campus has its own rhythm.

Steps become seats. Friends gather on the Pav. Shade is found beneath ancient trees. A quiet breeze follows the path past the rugby pitches.

These everyday moments are part of what makes the student experience at Trinity Business School so distinctive.

Interview skills, practised in a new way.

For MSc Marketing student Charulekha Kasinathan, a VR interview practice session at the Trinity AI XR Hub helped her prepare for future career opportunities.

⏱️ AI is “freeing up” 5,000 hours in large firms

Ashish Kumar Jha, Professor in Business Analytics at Trinity Business School, has contributed to new research with Microsoft Ireland.

The AI Economy Ireland 2026 report finds that AI adoption is now near-universal, with 92% of organisations using or planning to use AI. However, large organisations are moving ahead at a much faster pace.

Key findings include:
🤖 Large firms are more than twice as likely as SMEs to save two or more hours per employee each week through AI
📈 Organisations with a formal AI policy are ten times more likely to report major productivity gains

As Ireland moves from early AI adoption to scaled, governed and value-driven use, this research offers valuable insight for businesses, policymakers and leaders.
