China-made robodog no longer present at Galgotias University stall at India AI Summit

Galgotias University has removed the Unitree Robodog from its stall at the India AI Summit following criticism regarding misleading claims about its origin. Initially presented as an in-house development, the robodog was later revealed to be a product manufactured by a Chinese company, Unitree Robotics. This revelation sparked backlash among attendees and online commentators who accused the university of misrepresenting the technology. The incident highlights the growing scrutiny over transparency in technology showcases, particularly in the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence. Universities and institutions are increasingly under pressure to ensure that their innovations are accurately represented to maintain credibility within the academic and technological communities. The India AI Summit, a crucial platform for showcasing advancements in artificial intelligence, has now brought to light the importance of authenticity in technological demonstrations, especially as India strives to position itself as a leader in AI development and research.
