An Indian professor stirred controversy by claiming a Chinese-made robot dog was created by her university at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. The silver robot dog, sold by Chinese startup Unitree, appeared at Galgotias University's booth. During a TV interview, the professor said, "This has been developed by the centres of excellence at the Galgotias University," while the dog performed tricks like waving and standing on hind legs. However, Galgotias University soon clarified on social media, "Let us be clear — Galgotias has not built this robodog, neither have we claimed." The university said it recently acquired the robot as a "classroom in motion" for students to test its limits. The incident sparked political backlash, with the Indian Congress party criticizing the government. They posted on platform X, "The Modi government has made a laughing stock of India globally, with regard to AI. In the ongoing AI summit, Chinese robots are being displayed as our own," calling it "truly embarrassing" and "brazenly shameless." The TV reporter who interviewed the professor, Tapas Bhattachary, asked viewers not to lose hope, stating, "If one out of hundreds of exhibitors wasn’t being upfront about their innovation, I would not give up on the entire India’s youth who are very innovative." The episode highlights challenges in showcasing India’s tech progress amid global AI developments.
