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.
But Gates suddenly withdrew on Thursday morning, hours before he was due to address delegates, including the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani.
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.”
yes, just being named in the files does not mean you participated in any of the criminal activity.
For instance members of the lab I attended at Harvard are in the files, because Someone referenced a research paper to Epstein, thus the lab and specific authors of the paper are in the Epstein database. All they did was publish an academic research paper.
However, when there are specific instances of your behavior or attendance at events featuring Sexually trafficked minors, YES you should be thought of as a co-conspirator in the crimes.
