"to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities."
"The Gates Foundation remains fully committed to our work in India to advance our shared health and development goals,"
"I feel somewhat sullied by just any association of Epstein with the work we do,"
Bill Gates pulled out of the AI summit in New Delhi hours before a planned keynote. The Gates Foundation said Gates did not give the keynote to ensure the summit's focus remained on its priorities and sent Ankur Vora to represent the foundation. The foundation stated continued commitment to health and development work in India. The withdrawal followed renewed scrutiny after the U.S. Department of Justice released emails that include Gates's name in Epstein-related files. The files referenced meetings after Epstein's 2009 release with discussions about philanthropic goals, prompting concern among foundation staff.
