An Indian university faced heavy criticism after one of its professors claimed a Chinese-made robot dog was developed by their institution at a major AI summit in New Delhi. Neha Singh, a communications professor at Galgotias University, told DD News, “You need to meet Orion. This has been developed by the Centre of Excellence at Galgotias University.” However, social media users quickly identified the robot as the Unitree Go2, which is sold by China’s Unitree Robotics for around $2,800 and widely used worldwide for research and education. The mistake created embarrassment for India during the India AI Impact Summit, a major five-day event hosting nearly 20 world leaders and top AI executives. The controversy was deepened when India's Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the video of the presentation on his official social media but later deleted it after the backlash. Galgotias University and Singh later clarified, stating, “Let us be clear, Galgotias has not built this robodog, neither have we claimed.” The university added, “But what we are building are minds that will soon design, engineer, and manufacture such technologies.” Despite accusations of plagiarism and misrepresentation, the university stall remained open, and officials said they had not been asked to leave the summit. Reuters quoted a university representative confirming this. The Indian National Congress party slammed the incident, saying, “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. This is truly embarrassing for India,” and called the act "brazenly shameless." The India AI Impact Summit has faced organizational problems since it began, with reports of overcrowding. Yet, it has secured over $100 billion in investment pledges from companies like Microsoft, Adani Group, and Yotta. The summit will feature speeches by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.
