The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) recently commented on the removal of the Galgotias University stall from the AI Impact Expo 2026, emphasizing the importance of upholding a code of conduct to prevent the spread of misinformation at official events. MeitY Secretary S Krishnan highlighted the need for genuine and accurate representation at expos like the AI Summit, stating that misinformation should not be encouraged. The controversy arose following the display of a ‘Chinese’ robodog at the Galgotias University stall, leading to their decision to vacate the expo.
In response to the situation, Galgotias University Registrar Nitin Kumar Gaur issued an apology, attributing the confusion to a representative who provided inaccurate information without proper authorization. The University expressed regret for the misunderstanding at the AI Summit and clarified that there was no deliberate intent to misrepresent the innovation.
This incident underscores the significance of maintaining transparency and accuracy in tech showcases to avoid misinformation and controversies. By adhering to a set code of conduct, organizations can ensure that their exhibits truly reflect their work, preventing misunderstandings and promoting integrity in technological displays.
