India tells university to leave AI summit after presenting Chinese robot as its own, sources say

Galgotias University, an Indian university, has been accused of plagiarism after a staff member presented a commercially available robotic dog made in China as its own creation at the country's flagship AI summit. Neha Singh, a professor of communications, claimed the robot was developed by the university's Center of Excellence, but social media users quickly identified it as the Unitree Go2 sold by Unitree Robotics. The incident has drawn sharp criticism and cast an uncomfortable spotlight on India's artificial intelligence ambitions. The university maintains that it did not build the machine but is using it for student experimentation.
