Being recognised here matters; we were delighted to be recognised in the Education Awards against heavy weights from the world of academia.

We don't just train people in AI, we live it, and this nomination reflects the leadership behind that. Maryrose was shortlisted for AI Leader of the Year at the Business Post Leadership Awards, powered by Grant Thornton, and named alongside such a strong group of Irish tech leaders, is a real privilege.

Representation in AI matters, and it's a mission Maryrose has championed from day one. As founder of the AI Institute, she's made AI approachable for the people too often left out of the conversation — so being named a finalist for Women in AI Ambassador of the Year at Ireland's national AI Awards, run by AI Ireland, is recognition we're proud of.
