The state pension in Ireland, as it is called in the Irish public pension system, is paid starting from the age of 66 to people who have contributed to the Irish pension system under the laws of the country. As the terms of Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) are very complex, anyone claiming a state (contributory) pension must have worked in Ireland and paid pension contributions.In Iceland, the agency in charge of public pensions is Tryggingastofnun rikkisins.Old-age pensions, disability pensions, rehabilitation pensions and corresponding payments are income-related and calculated on the basis of a monthly income plan. When applying for a pension, the gross taxable income must be reported in order to have an accurate estimation of it, but if this changes, the income plan is reassessed. The rules can be found in paragraph 12, Article 16 of the Social Security Law No. 100/2007, with subsequent amendments and additions and Regulation No. 598/2009 regarding the calculation, recalculation and settlement of income-related benefits and contributions.In Iceland the minimum retirement age was 66. This age was raised to 67 in 2021 and will increase to 68 in 2028.

Artificial intelligence transforms both our intelligence and society. Many sectors, together with the public pension system, can benefit from AI. There is no clear definition of AI, but some define it as a digital computer system capable of solving complex problems or taking optimal actions to achieve real-life goals.
