"Bill Gates has pulled out of a keynote address at the AI Impact Summit in India as he continues to face questions over his relationship with the deceased child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The billionaire Microsoft co-founder travelled to India, where his foundation works with the government on delivering AI for social good, earlier this week and was advertised as speaking at the international summit shortly after the country's prime minister, Narendra Modi."
"The Gates Foundation said in a statement: After careful consideration and to ensure the focus remains on the AI summit's key priorities, Mr Gates will not be delivering his keynote address.. The move came less than 48 hours after the Gates Foundation had insisted: Bill Gates is attending the AI Impact Summit. He will be delivering his keynote as scheduled."
Bill Gates withdrew from a scheduled keynote at the AI Impact Summit in India hours before he was due to speak to delegates including Emmanuel Macron and Mukesh Ambani. The Gates Foundation stated the decision was intended to keep attention on the summit's priorities and announced Gates would not deliver the keynote. The withdrawal followed earlier assurances that Gates would attend and speak as scheduled. The move coincided with renewed scrutiny after late-January release of Epstein files that intensified controversy over Gates's past association with Jeffrey Epstein. Gates has expressed regret for knowing Epstein and denied claims about hiding a sexually transmitted disease, apologising for interactions.
