Gates..

Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates pulled out of India’s AI Impact Summit just hours before he was scheduled to address the event with a keynote speech. The Bill Gates Foundation said in a statement that the decision was made “to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit’s key priorities.”

Rumors had been swirling around Gates’ attendance throughout the week due to renewed scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. However, just days ago, the foundation confirmed the tech leader was still planning to attend the event.

Gates’ withdrawal comes weeks after the U.S. Department of Justice published emails revealing contact between Gates Foundation staff and Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender. The correspondence suggested the two had a series of meetings following Epstein’s release from prison, focused on Gates’ charitable ambitions. Gates has maintained that his dealings with Epstein were limited to discussions about his charitable work and has said meeting him was an error of judgment.
