I'm dispatching LIVE from India's AI Impact Summit, here are the key takeaways: $100B pledged. 70,000 attendees. The topic: the future. Gates pulled (Epstein). Huang cancelled (illness). A university presented a $1,600 Chinese robot dog as its own invention and named it Orion. They also faked a Korean drone soccer arena. The university blamed a professor caught up in 'the enthusiasm of being on camera.' The IT Minister had already tweeted congratulations. An exhibitor's AI wearables were stolen from the floor on Day 1. Exhibitors were locked out of their own stalls. Some described feeling jailed. They had no water. The Wi-Fi did not work. Digital payments crashed. Food vendors accepted cash only. The Prime Minister asked the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic to hold hands for a photograph. He grabbed Altman's hand and raised it. Altman and Amodei raised their fists without making contact. Days earlier, Anthropic had run Super Bowl ads headlined 'Deception,' 'Betrayal,' and 'Treachery.' Altman's explanation: 'I thought it was the open clock.' Altman promised superintelligence by 2028. Attendees walked miles to leave. The venue had no buses. This is the future.
