Bill Gates Skips India AI Summit Keynote Amid Renewed Epstein Scrutiny

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has canceled his keynote address at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi following the recent release of DOJ documents detailing past communications with Jeffrey Epstein. While the Gates Foundation cited a desire to maintain focus on the summit's priorities, the sudden withdrawal follows fresh criticism of Gates's historical relationship with the convicted financier. The summit itself has faced additional setbacks, including organizational challenges and a widely publicized incident involving an inauthentic Chinese-made robodog.
