At an event held at a university in London where Surya Kant was speaking, organisers reportedly restricted questions that were unrelated to the theme of artificial intelligence, asking attendees to remain focused on the topic.
During the session, an attendee attempted to question him on India’s democratic record and alleged concerns about suppression of dissent in the context of AI governance.
The anchor, however, stated that such questions were off-topic, leading to a tense exchange between participants and organisers, PTI reported.
Saurav Das shared a video claiming that the Chief Justice of India was heckled during the event, with a student urging, “Give us some respect please,” amid the disagreement over questioning.
