AI Summit Scandal: Indian University Accused of Misrepresenting Chinese Robot
人工智能峰会风波：印度大学被指冒充中国机器人
An Indian university has faced backlash after a professor showcased a Chinese-made robot dog as its own innovation at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. Neha Singh from Galgotias University introduced the robot, called “Orion,” claiming it was developed by the university. However, social media users identified it as the Unitree Go2 by Unitree Robotics, priced around $2,800 and widely used in research. The controversy intensified after Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the clip before deleting it. Galgotias later clarified it never built the robot. The incident embarrassed organizers, overshadowing the summit attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and tech leaders like Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman.
印度一所大学在新德里举行的印度人工智能影响峰会上引发争议。一名来自加尔戈蒂亚斯大学的教授将一款名为“Orion”的机器狗介绍为校方自主研发成果。然而，社交媒体用户很快指出该产品实际上是中国宇树科技生产的Unitree Go2，售价约2800美元，广泛用于科研和教育。电子与信息技术部长阿什维尼·瓦伊什瑙曾转发相关视频后删除。校方随后澄清并未制造该机器人。此事令峰会蒙尴尬阴影，总理莫迪及多位科技领袖出席活动。
