Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will not be speaking at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, the Gates Foundation confirmed on Thursday. "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 Gates Foundation said. Instead of the former Microsoft CEO, whose keynote address was among the most anticipated at the AI summit, the Gates Foundation will be represented by Ankur Vora, the President of Africa and India offices.
