UK: Free AI Training for 10 Million Workers

On January 28, 2026, the UK government expanded the AI Skills Boost programme. The goal is to provide key AI skills to 10 million citizens by 2030. Courses developed in collaboration with businesses are becoming free and accessible to every adult.

This is London's answer to the fear of automation. Instead of protecting obsolete professions, the state invests in workforce adaptation. The program includes partnerships with the NHS and industrial giants, creating a national standard for "digital literacy 2.0."
