  "summary": "The UK government is running a pilot project in Preston to address youth unemployment and the impact of AI on the economy. The project, an \"AI bootcamp\", is taking place at the Vault, a community hub in the city.\n\nThe bootcamp is a three-week course aimed at 16- to 24-year-olds, particularly those who are not in education, employment, or training (Neets). At the end of the course, participants are offered an apprenticeship.\n\nThe initiative is part of a trial in the north-west region. According to the Guardian, the government hopes that AI training will help solve youth unemployment rather than exacerbate it.",
