As we reflect on a year of exploring what AI could mean for social mobility, this blog brings to life an example of the vast opportunity that AI presents for young people’s development and employability.
We caught up with John Walker, EY Foundation Youth Advisory Board alum and entrepreneur, about his own experience of learning and using AI, how it’s supported him to co-found his own business, and a few tips for other young people thinking of doing the same…
John’s story demonstrates the potential for AI to support young people’s personal and professional development; therefore, it’s crucial they feel empowered and supported to use these tools.
Join us in making 2026 the year for action on AI and social mobility.
If you or your organisation wants to play a part in ensuring AI is used for good, supporting all young people to fulfil their goals and potential, we want to hear from you.
