The India AI Impact Summit commenced in New Delhi on the 16th, unfolding over a five-day span and touted as the "largest summit of its kind to date." However, the inaugural day was marred by a flurry of criticism from participants, citing organizational disarray, logistical hiccups, and instances of theft from exhibition stands. On the following day, the 17th, India's Minister of Electronics and Information Technology extended an apology for the mishaps. Moreover, it emerged that the "self-developed" robot dog displayed by Galgotias University at the summit was, in fact, procured from China's Unitree Technology. The university justified its actions by stating that the robot dog was intended for educational purposes and experimental use by students, yet this rationale was swiftly dismissed on social media as "untrue and deceptive." Despite India's ambitious strides to "democratize" AI, including plans for expansive digital infrastructure and a proposed $200 billion investment in data centers, the nation still has significant ground to cover in terms of AI advancement. Tangible business results remain scarce, with R&D expenditure remaining low and private sector growth lagging.
