University of Bristol: Gov Grants for AI Education

On January 28, 2026, the University of Bristol launched a new government-funded AI scholarship program. This is part of the UK's national workforce strategy. Grants target students from underrepresented groups to make the AI field more inclusive.

The initiative highlights the role of universities as "talent forges" for the digital economy. Amidst a specialist shortage (see labor market reports), such programs become a critically important element of national competitiveness.
