New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the AI Impact Summit, calling it a “disorganized public relations spectacle”.In a social media post on X, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha claimed that Indian data is on sale at the event while Chinese products are on display.“Instead of leveraging Indian talent and data, the AI Summit is a disorganized PR spectacle – Indian data for sale, Chinese products showcased,” Rahul said.
Rahul also quoted a Congress circular in which he said that the Modi government has made India the “laughing stock of the world” regarding AI. “At the ongoing AI summit, Chinese robots are being presented as our own robots. The Chinese media has ridiculed us. This is truly embarrassing for India. Even more shameful is the fact that Modi’s minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is indulging in the same lies, promoting Chinese robots at the Indian summit,” the party said.“The Modi government has caused irreparable damage to the country’s image – they have turned AI into a joke – an area where we could be world leaders given the power of data we have,” she added.This comes after Galgotia University displayed a robot dog named ‘Orion’ at the Artificial Intelligence Summit exhibition. However, the university faced backlash as critics claimed the product was actually a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 device and not an internal innovation.Meanwhile, Galgotias University has been asked to vacate its booth at the AI Summit Expo immediately, news agency PTI reported citing government sources.
