These remarks come amid controversy over Noida-based Galgotias University presenting a commercially available Chinese robot as their own creation at the Summit.
"Instead of leveraging India’s talent and data, the AI summit is a disorganised PR spectacle - Indian data up for sale, Chinese products showcased," Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote on X.
Meanwhile, the party's official handle on X posted, "The Modi government has made a laughing stock of India globally, with regard to AI".
