The so-called “Shining India” AI Summit turned into a global embarrassment.
An Indian university faced humiliation worldwide after presenting a Chinese-made robot as its own invention. Following the disgrace, the Indian government shut down the stall of Galgotias University.
According to Reuters, an Indian professor, Neha Singh, falsely claimed a Chinese robotic dog as her creation. After her lie went viral, India faced widespread criticism.
Reports from the New Delhi AI Summit also mentioned slow internet and incidents of product theft. Experts commented that India’s technology and innovation remain limited to false claims and publicity.
