London: The UK government has announced £8m funding to create 800 new AI scholarships as part of a new £60 million Regional Innovation Fund (RIF).

The fund, launched by Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan will boost support for universities in areas with lower levels of research and development as part of a wider initiative to spread AI skills across the UK.

The RIF – relative to the size of each UK nation – will see £48.8 million go towards 110 universities across England and will be delivered by Research England.

A further £5.8 million for Scotland, £3.4 million for Wales and £2 million for Northern Ireland will be allocated to devolved administrations to support local and regional economies, in turn boosting growth and increasing productivity.

1. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Religions seem to be riddled with claims, made largely by some of their adherents, which do not appear to be borne out by the evidence from the original sources of those religions. Islam is no exception. One comes across a good number of those claims not only in Muslim writings, but also when interacting with Muslims in general. Those misleading claims are not only significant because they are not backed up by scriptural evidence, but also because they can have a negative impact on relationships between individuals and communities across the globe. Let’s now look at some beliefs that numerous Muslims hold in spite of their lack of corroborating evidence in the Quran or hadith (sayings by Muhammad), starting with the matter of democracy and that of female equality.
