The Hub is in collaboration with AI security and trust software firm Cranium and Microsoft and is located in the firm’s Platform X Global Innovation Hub in Dublin’s IFSC.

The state-of-the-art resource is designed to provide KPMG clients with access to world-leading tools and insights to navigate the complexities of AI implementation including the impending EU AI Act.

Gillian Kelly, head of consulting at KPMG in Ireland, said: “The Hub is underpinned by our Trusted AI framework and supported by cutting-edge technology from Microsoft and Cranium, the Hub is a truly collaborative environment.

“KPMG’s commitment to Dublin and the creation of 200 new jobs underscores our belief in Ireland’s potential as a place for innovation, technology, and collaboration. We look forward to contributing to the vibrant tech ecosystem and supporting our clients on their AI journey.”

Speaking at the launch, minister of state Neale Richmond TD said: “I am delighted to be attending the launch of KPMG’s new EU AI Hub. AI presents an opportunity, and a challenge, for many Irish businesses and KPMG’s Hub will help them to navigate the world of AI, and the regulation that comes with it.

“KPMG’s EU AI Hub will lead to the creation of 200 jobs over the next three years, underpinning both KPMG’s commitment to Ireland but also the role that AI will have for Irish businesses in the coming years.

“Through our strategy ‘AI – Here for Good’, Ireland aims to be an international leader in the AI space, with a people-focused and ethical approach and KPMG’s EU AI Hub will help us to reach this goal.”
