Gates Pulls Out of Delhi AI Summit Keynote Amid Epstein Controversy
Bill Gates abruptly canceled his keynote at Delhi's AI Impact Summit amid renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein; the Gates Foundation will still participate through Ankur Vora to keep the focus on the summit's AI priorities. The controversy follows newly released Epstein files and Gates's own regrets about knowing Epstein, with other high-profile speakers like OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google's Sundar Pichai, and attendees from Modi's India, Macron, and Mukesh Ambani.
