Conflicting Claims Over Gates’ Attendance at AI Impact Summit in New Delhi​

New Delhi, February 17: Speculation surrounding the participation of Microsoft co founder Bill Gates at the AI Impact Summit intensified on Tuesday after conflicting statements emerged regarding his attendance at what is being described as the world’s largest AI summit.

Earlier in the day, government sources indicated that Gates would not be attending the event. However, the uncertainty deepened when a spokesperson for the Gates Foundation contradicted this claim, stating that he is indeed participating in the summit.

Name Removed from Official Website List​

Gates had originally been listed among prominent speakers on the official website of the AI Impact Summit, which began on February 16 in the national capital. He was featured alongside leading tech executives, policymakers, founders, and technologists expected to address key discussions around artificial intelligence.

On Tuesday morning, his name was removed from the list of key participants displayed on the summit website, triggering further speculation about his status at the event.

Government Sources Maintain Non Attendance Claim​

Despite the foundation’s clarification, government sources reiterated that Gates would not be attending the summit. No specific reason was provided for his alleged absence.

The contradictory accounts have led to uncertainty over his role in the ongoing AI Impact Summit, which has drawn significant global attention due to its scale and the high profile lineup of speakers.

As of now, no further clarification has been issued regarding the discrepancy between the two statements.
