This analysis focuses on the effects of Artificial Intelligence on productivity and employment in Iraqi technology firms. It utilizes qualitative and quantitative methods based on interviews with 20 top managers and 500 other employees. The study claims that 80% of the participants in the polled companies claim that their productivity improved, with 30% reporting improved levels above 20%. These technologies are important for improving the efficiency of service delivery, particularly in customer service and operations. The influence of AI on employment opportunity indicators also proved to be positive: 62% of the respondents claimed that the employment levels increased, 74% indicated that employment security improved and 64% claimed that their job satisfaction increased. However, the research reveals that potential integration is hindered by a lack of skills (70%) and high costs (60%). The kewer respondens cite evidence supporting integration and innovation. AI indeed has strategic importance for operational innovation, but there is a need for strategic workforce development.
