As reports emerge about Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI) during his two-week visit to the United States, the Technical Advisor involved with the event called the reports "false".
Taking to twitter, Technical Advisor Sam Pitroda said, "I have seen news in media that Rahul Gandhi is coming to the US to give a talk on Artificial Intelligence. This is FALSE information."
