“…These findings are consistent with previous research regarding instances of tourism or study abroad experiences that resulted in a greater intercultural understanding [ 81 , 82 , 83 ]. Moreover, reading or watching news reports seems to be positively correlated with negative affect, gender, and negative stereotypes, providing support to past studies demonstrating news media’s detrimental impact on Islam [ 6 , 8 ]. The study did, however, find that reading the news is positively correlated with intercultural strategy and awareness, which suggests that not all news media have an adverse effect on intercultural interactions.…”

Two decades have passed since the September 11 attacks by Islamist militants that shocked the world. Despite this, Islamophobia remains a common phenomenon. In Taiwan, the 2014 12-year Basic Education Curriculum amendments emphasize cultural and global understanding as core competencies. With more than 6 years of implementation, it would be therefore interesting to learn what elementary school students think of Islam. Anchoring on the concepts of intercultural competency development, stereotypes are said to be related to cognitive knowledge, intercultural behavioral abilities, and attitudes. A survey instrument was developed and validated to collect information on stereotypes, skills in intercultural interaction, and attitudes toward Islam. Additionally, cognitive knowledge of Islam was also tested. A total of 712 students participated in the study. Structural equation modelling was used to test the mediating role of cognitive knowledge and intercultural behavioral skills within the relationship between cultural stereotypes and intercultural affects. Findings show that behavioral skills alone are not enough to diminish the negative aspects of stereotypes. Importantly, it is only with the help of cognitive knowledge that the relationship between stereotypes and intercultural affects are improved. It is hoped that by understanding the importance of proper curriculum content, more sustainable coexistence can be established.

“…Recent statistics suggest that there are currently more than 250,000 Muslims in Taiwan [ 4 ] who share a long history with everyone in Taiwan. Despite this, incidents of prejudice against Islam and the Muslim community still occur [ 5 ] side by side with regional news and media that inflame anti-Islamic sentiments [ 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…The media also promotes terms like “Islamic terrorism,” “Islamic bombs,” and “violent Islam,” all of which have contributed to a poor image of Islam. Whenever there is a report of an attack carried out by a Muslim, it is called Islamic terrorism (Hassan and Azmi, 2021). When a non-Muslim, on the other hand, commits a similar act (the fatal shooting of nine African Americans at Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina, as a hate crime conducted by a white man, Dylann Roof), he is called a mentally ill lone wolf.…”

A cliché arises when Islam is claimed to be the source of a succession of terrorist attacks. As a result, several states have been concerned about and distrustful of Muslims—Islamophobia. Islamophobia is linked to unfavorable stereotypes about Muslims and Islam, which leads to the formation of anti-Islam sentiment. Prejudice stems from the belief that Islam is a lesser faith that poses a challenge to society's prevailing ideals. Because of its dichotomous function, the media has become the focus of attention in the instance of Islamophobia. It has become the source of the symptoms of Islamophobia. As a human civilization that relies on revenue to survive, Muslim communities have witnessed Islamophobia wreaking havoc on their businesses, overall economy, and resources. Islamophobia is a global issue associated with unfavorable attitudes and biases toward Muslims and Islam; it requires proper knowledge, good reporting, and appropriate representation at the international level.

“…Another reason for the more sensational angle on the news depiction of the newer technologies in the rural regions can be that the unfamiliarity with a topic causes more extreme news portrayal. This has been seen with other phenomena, e.g., Islamophobia and crimes, where the depiction in regions less likely to experience both Muslim inhabitants (Hassan & Azmi, 2021) and crime (Wong & Harraway, 2020), tended to be more extreme in their news depiction.…”

Due to the absence of local coverage, distant areas face reduced media attention and are less likely to be covered (Nord & Nygren, 2002), as can be interpreted from Figure 4 with the hierarchical nature of the news flows.…”

There is a generally established consensus that the diffusion of new technologies, which refers to their geographical spread and adoption among companies and individuals, has a stronger societal impact than the invention of new technologies. However, researchers and policymakers primarily focus on the latter, leaving a significant knowledge gap regarding the mechanisms underlying the potentially uneven diffusion of Artificial Intelligence.This dissertation aims to address this knowledge gap by examining the following research question: How does the regional context influence the rate and direction of the diffusion of Artificial Intelligence across regions??The dissertation focuses mainly on traditional/statistical Artificial Intelligence, typically used to create algorithms to make predictions, recommendations, and decisions from outside a given data set.The dissertation approaches how AI technology diffuses spatially from an evolutionary economic theoretical perspective. This entails that how individuals and firms in different regions learn about and ultimately adopt new technology is geographically path dependent, meaning that technology adoption is influenced by several local factors -e.g., regional institutions, resources, capabilities, and the technology already in use -that are self-reinforcing over time. The existing resources in the region, such as worker skills and their experience working with different types of technology, influence the knowledge and learning about new technology that firms can engage with, which in turn affects the demand for diverse resources, experience, and knowledge related to adopting and using the new technology, and thus the mutual relationship continues. The dissertation tests this assumption in the dissertation's four papers focusing on the Danish case.
