News India Live, Digital Desk: The performance of a Chinese robotic dog has become a topic of discussion at the ‘AI Impact Summit’ organized at Galgotias University, Greater Noida. The use of Chinese technology in the presence of Union Ministers and NITI Aayog officials in this summit has given the opposition an opportunity to attack. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called it a mess with the country’s security and ‘Make in India’ campaign.
What is the whole controversy?
During the summit, a video went viral on social media, in which a robotic dog was seen performing.
Chinese Connection: Investigation and discussions revealed that this robotic dog is manufactured by a famous Chinese tech company.
Rahul Gandhi’s attack: While sharing the video on social media, Rahul Gandhi asked that when the government gives the slogan of ‘Self-reliant India’, then why are Chinese robots being promoted in government programs and major universities?
Questions on security: The opposition argues that the use of Chinese equipment in the field of AI and robotics can be dangerous in terms of data security.
Government and University’s side
There is currently no detailed official statement from Galgotias University or the concerned ministries on this controversy, but according to sources:
Technical Performance: The purpose of the event was only to showcase cutting-edge AI technology and not to promote a product from a particular country.
Innovation Summit: Many Indian startups also showcased their indigenous robots at the summit, but the controversy started over only one particular product.
Robotic dogs: technology or danger?
Robotic dogs are being used around the world today for surveillance, disaster management and logistics.
Situation in India: India is also working on indigenous robotic systems like ‘Commando Dog’.
Root of controversy: Amid the India-China border dispute, showcasing Chinese technology at government and semi-government forums becomes a politically sensitive issue.
