UK Prime Minister Launches Google-Backed AI Campus to Train Future Innovators

Keir Starmer emphasizes AI's transformative potential and urges young people to seize opportunities as the UK positions itself as a global leader in artificial intelligence.

The AI Campus in Camden, London, is a collaboration between Google, Camden Council, and Camden Learning to provide AI education and resources to young people and teachers.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer described AI as the 'opportunity of this generation' and highlighted its potential to transform lives and industries globally.
The campus has launched a two-year pilot programme, AI Connect, for 32 students aged 16-18, integrating AI tools into fields like health, social sciences, and the arts.
Google announced £865,000 in funding to train teachers across the UK on AI, aiming to reach over 250,000 students by the end of 2026.
The initiative seeks to ensure accessibility to AI education for students from diverse backgrounds, aiming to unlock the UK's projected £400 billion economic potential in AI.
