Foreign media: At the India AI Summit held in New Delhi, Kolkata University was accused of presenting a Unitree Go2 robot produced by Chinese company Unitree as a result of the university's excellence center. A professor from the university stated in a TV interview that it was a school-developed achievement, causing controversy. Social media users quickly pointed out that the robot is actually a Chinese product, priced at about $2800, and widely used in global scientific research and education. The Indian Minister of Information Technology had also shared related videos, which were later deleted due to public opinion. Currently, the university claims it never claimed the robot was developed by the school, but the booth is still required to be removed.
This summit is the first major AI event of the Global South, attracting many guests including Indian Prime Minister Modi and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. During the event, over $100 billion in investment commitments were made, but the summit also faced issues of disorganization. This incident has somewhat impacted India's image in the field of AI.
