News around the area of the UK and topical to students.
Unihousing found that young people are both excited about AI’s potential and concerned about its impact on their futures. In the UK, 44% of students said they’re enthusiastic about AI, especially in areas like healthcare, education, and climate change.
AI is already playing a supportive role in students' academic lives. Nearly half of UK students (43%) use AI to proofread and check grammar, while about a third turn to it for simplifying complex information (31%) and generating ideas (31%). Additionally, 21% use it to help write CVs.
However, this excitement is tempered by serious concerns. A large majority (78%) of UK students fear AI could negatively affect their job prospects, and over half (56%) worry it may lead to a decline in human intelligence.
A new University of Birmingham-led research hub aims to revolutionise UK manufacturing through Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help achieve Net Zero by 2050.
The Co-AIMS (Collaborative AI for Manufacturing Sustainability) Hub looks to pioneer AI-powered manufacturing ecosystems that eliminate waste, boost productivity, and increase sustainability.

Finding a job today can feel like a vicious circle: getting a job requires experience, but experience comes from having a job.
Some youth have "given up" on their job hunts because they don't think they'll ever find anything. While some have not reached that stage yet, but have started to feel pessimistic about whether they'll find a job before the summer ends.
Here is some advice from students which have proven to be the most successful when trying to find a job over the summer.
Finding regular spots to study, relax, or socialise outside of your accommodation can help create routine and familiarity. On campus, the University of Birmingham's Main Library and the Green Heart provide flexible study and leisure spaces. There are also many social areas in the Guild of Students building and various cafes dotted around campus.
Joining a student society is one of the most effective ways to feel part of the university community. With hundreds of options through the Guild of Students, ranging from academic and cultural societies to sports and hobby-based groups, there’s something for everyone.
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed during big transitions. The University of Birmingham offers various wellbeing services to support students through difficult periods. Booking wellbeing check-ins is simple through the university’s online portal, with access to various wellness resources.
