British PM opens Google-backed AI Campus to inspire students
The HinduBritish Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Wednesday opened London's first Google-funded AI Campus, which aims to help young people develop skills in the rapidly developing technology. A first cohort of 32 people aged 16-18 will have access to resources in AI and machine learning and receive mentoring and expertise from Google's AI company DeepMind, the tech giant said. Starmer said the launch was a "seismic moment" that would help students, many of whom were living in challenging circumstances, to see themselves as part of the AI future. "We believe that AI's enormous opportunities should be accessible to all and this groundbreaking initiative, by empowering the next generation to learn vital digital skills, will be key in supporting the UK to unlock AI's 400 billion-pound economic potential," she said.
