Learnosity launches AI Labs creating over 20 new jobs to develop future AI experts in EdTech

Learnosity, a prominent EdTech company, has announced the launch of its AI Labs initiative. This project aims to promote innovation in the sector and create over 20 new jobs focused on AI and data science.

Learnosity is set to expand its team with roles for data scientists, product managers, prompt engineers, and full stack software engineers. The new positions are part of a broader effort to harness the potential of AI in education technology and to ensure these advancements benefit all users.

Gavin Cooney, co-founder and CEO of Learnosity, emphasised the company's dedication to developing AI talent:

 "We want to nurture the next generation of AI experts who can lead the charge in revolutionising edtech. Through this project, we’re creating jobs for the next generation of talent and helping to shape the future of AI innovation within the assessment space.”

The AI Labs project is not only about job creation but also about making emerging technologies accessible to educators and students. Cooney continued:

"We see this as an opportunity to lead by example - to show how AI can create opportunities when guided by an ethical compass. 

“Too often, the benefits of new technology advancements are only truly available to the largest companies and never make it into the hands of educators and students who need them most. We plan to change that." 

Learnosity's AI Labs initiative aligns with the company’s mission to enhance educational outcomes through technology. Serving over 40 million users globally, Learnosity was recently ranked 16th on TIME Magazine’s inaugural list of the World’s Top EdTech Companies. 

The announcement has received support from government officials. Thomas Byrne, Minister for Sport, Physical Education and the Gaeltacht and TD for Meath East, praised the initiative:

  “I warmly welcome this investment of 20 new positions in the cutting edge digital assessment solutions and EdTech sector.  It is a wonderful vote of confidence in Ireland’s tech sector and the attractive environment that the Government has created. I wish Learnosity every success and congratulate them on their many achievements across the globe, to date.”
