"AI has the power to change the way we fundamentally live, work, and learn, through its capacity to assist and empower people in almost every field of human endeavour," said Debbie Weinstein, vice president of Google and managing director of Google UK and Ireland. "That's why it's important that we support the next generation in being equipped with the right digital skills to thrive."
"We have already trained more than one million people and businesses across the UK in digital and AI skills, partnering with governments, trade unions, NGOs and local communities - and recently launched the AI works program to uncover the most effective ways to accelerate the uptake of AI skills and boost productivity across the UK," said Weinstein.
"The scheme has already started, Google revealed, with 32 students aged between 16 and 18. Preference was given to applicants from underrepresented groups, including those eligible for free school meals."
"By getting a first-class AI education, the next generation can pioneer the transformative use of AI. This is a mission that will turbocharge the UK's global presence in the AI landscape."
