Bill Gates has cancelled his keynote at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi amid renewed scrutiny from recently released Epstein documents. The Gates Foundation cited a desire to "keep focus on AI priorities" and sent Ankur Vora (President, Africa & India offices) instead. No official pressure confirmed; summit continues with PM Modi's inauguration. NVIDIA's Jensen Huang also withdrew separately.
Gates has called his past Epstein meetings (post-2010) a "huge mistake" limited to business/philanthropy discussions, with no evidence of wrongdoing.
