AI Impact Summit 2026 Day 2 Live Updates: Bill Gates not to attend AI Impact Summit, say govt sources

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will not be attending the AI Impact Summit 2026, government sources confirmed. Gates had originally appeared among the tech moguls, industry leaders, policymakers, founders, and technologists listed as speakers on the official Summit website, scheduled in New Delhi from February 16-20. However, by Tuesday, his name was removed from the site.

Sources said Gates’s absence is linked to newly released documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. While Gates has not been accused of any wrongdoing by Epstein’s victims, the US Justice Department files include an allegation by Epstein that Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease. Gates’s spokesperson dismissed the claim as “absolutely absurd.”

Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, another major attraction at the Summit, also confirmed he will not travel to India to attend the event.

Delhi AI Summit Live Updates: Govt mulling AI intervention to curb 2-wheeler accidents

Acknowledging that the automobile industry was car-centric, a senior official from the road transport ministry on Monday said that the government was mulling charting out a plan with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) to curb the deaths of two-wheeler riders— which account for 45% of total fatalities.

Two-wheelers do not offer any structural protection like cars and therefore in case of an accident, the impact is very high.

While speaking during a session on ‘AI for Road Safety: Data-Driven Solutions for Enhancing Road Safety in India’ at the AI Impact Summit in Bharat Mandapam on Monday, Pankaj Aggarwal, Chief Engineer, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said, “In road safety, all industries are car centric, not two-wheeler centric. All safety features are about the cars, but what about the two wheelers. It is a very-very big area. 45% fatalities are of two wheelers. 20% are of pedestrians. Everything is about cars only, but nobody thinks about scooters.”
