Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday termed the AI Summit a \u201cdisorganised PR spectacle\u201d and alleged that Chinese products were being showcased at the event instead of promoting indigenous innovation.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, the former Congress president said, \u201cInstead of leveraging India\u2019s talent and data, the AI summit is a disorganised PR spectacle \u2013 Indian data up for sale, Chinese products showcased.\u201d<\/p>\n
The remarks came amid a controversy involving Galgotias University, which allegedly displayed a robotic dog labelled \u201cOrion\u201d at the AI Summit Expo. Critics claimed that the robot was actually a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 and not an in-house innovation.<\/p>\n
According to sources, the university has been asked to vacate its stall at the expo immediately.<\/p>\n
Gandhi also tagged a post by the Indian National Congress alleging that the Modi government had made India a \u201claughing stock\u201d globally on the issue of artificial intelligence. The party claimed that Chinese robots were being presented as Indian innovations at the summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Chinese media has mocked us. This is truly embarrassing for India. What is even more shameful is the fact that Modi\u2019s minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is indulging in the same falsehood, promoting China\u2019s robots at the Indian summit,\u201d the Congress said.<\/p>\n
The party further alleged that the government had caused \u201cirreparable damage\u201d to the country\u2019s image and reduced AI \u2014 a field where India could emerge as a global leader \u2014 to a subject of ridicule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
