I read that UKRI has given £860,000 to investigate 'bias' in Amazon Alexa. [source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10679793/Do-Alexa-Siri-reinforce-sexist-stereotypes-Quango-given-860k-taxpayers-money-out.html] This seems extraordinary.
Under the Freedom of Information Act kindly supply me with complete details of this grant, how it was approved, what UKRI expects from spending this large sum of money. On the face of it would appear to be a completely waste of taxpayers money.
Thanks. And could you also supply me with the names and email addresses of your board of directors.

Please could you answer the following questions?
UKRI stipends are tax free, and students are exempt from tax due to their student status, but the status of the stipend is unclear for tax and universal credit purposes when living with a jobseeker. Please can you confirm if the stipend should or should not be considered income, and how that relates to HMRC legislation?
Will UKRI provide a webpage providing advice for stipend recipients who live with universal credit claimants to clarify the status of the stipend with regards to income?
