My BiL is currently doing his PhD in CS(AI/ML)[1] at a University in the Midlands. Despite the scholarship/funding, he had to pay a rather heavy NHS fee for my him, my sister and the kids, and this is before the increase. I keep urging him to to move to the US, he will be done by next year and I think don't think that even if he were to win the global talent visa after that, (and pay the NHS fee again) he would ever earn a salary good enough to cover that, since UK salaries are so low. He's hesitant, but I don't believe I will have to push hard, if such policies continue. So stupid, that they (UK) attracted talent, paid for it, and yet might lose it. ____ [1]: He tried to explain it to me, it's something about audio/speech processing and using AI to do something about that, the funding is in a medical context, iirc.
