Another controversy in AI Summit: Galgotias University arrived with Chinese robot, Government threw it out of AI Summit, Rahul Gandhi also taunted
Galgotias University Chinese Robot Controversy: Controversies continue in the India AI Impact Summit going on in Bharat Mandapam, Delhi. In the first summit, the government even had to apologize for the chaos and theft. Now Galgotias University has put another dent on the reputation of the country. Robodog showcase was done on the second day of AI Summit. In this, Galgotias University presented the Chinese robotic dog as its own. After the controversy escalated, the government has excluded Galgotias University from the summit.
Actually, this clarification from Galgotias University came after a video went viral on social media claiming that the university showcased Unitri Go2, an AI-powered Chinese robodog named Orion at the summit which is being sold online for around Rs 2-3 lakh. This robodog is said to be from Chinese company Unitree.
After the video went viral, Galgotias University has now been asked to immediately remove it from the Expo area of the Summit. According to government sources, this step has been taken after the viral video and the controversy that arose thereafter. It is reported that all the equipment has been removed from the stall of Galgotias University. Meanwhile, Dr. Aishwarya Srivastava of Galgotias University says that we have not been told anything yet to leave the summit.
According to IT Ministry officials, instructions have been issued to Galgotias University to vacate the counter installed at the India AI Impact Summit. Now he will have to leave the AI Summit. After action was taken by the Ministry, all the equipment has been removed from the stall of the university. Besides, the innovation device which was being claimed by him has also been removed.
There was an uproar after the video went viral on social media
Regarding the indigenous AI robot, it was claimed on social media that this robot is actually a model made by a Chinese company. China Pulse shared pictures and videos of the robot on social media and claimed that it was the same model that had been previously demonstrated by a Chinese robotics company. Now it has come to light that this is actually a model of Chinese company Unitree Robotics, which was purchased from abroad and not made in India.
cleaning of university
The university says that they never claimed to develop it, rather it is a tool brought for the students to learn. In a video that has gone viral on social media, a representative of the university is explaining the features of the robotic dog while talking to the media. In the video it was named Orion and it was said that it has been prepared by the ‘Center of Excellence’ of the university.
Rahul Gandhi’s taunt on controversy
Taking aim at the controversy, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said that instead of leveraging India’s talent and data, the AI summit is a haphazard PR spectacle, with Indian data being sold and Chinese products being showcased. On the entire controversy, Professor Neha Singh said, “Only you know how things spread on social media. Many things have gone viral but I do not want to comment on them. On the basis of myself and the institution, I want to say that we are a responsible university. We talk about values for the quality of education. We have not claimed anywhere that we have manufactured this thing.”
