Paris, France (11 February 2025) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced embarrassment during his visit to France for the AI Summit, as multiple videos from the event have gone viral on social media.
In one widely circulated clip, French President Emmanuel Macron is seen shaking hands with various world leaders but skips over PM Modi, who had his hand extended. The apparent snub left Modi looking awkward, sparking widespread discussion online.
Another viral moment from the summit came during Modi’s speech, where he made a controversial claim about AI. He stated that if asked to draw someone writing with their left hand, AI would depict them using their right hand instead. However, multiple online tests disproved this assertion, leading to criticism of his understanding of artificial intelligence.
Social media users quickly mocked Modi and his advisors for the statement, questioning his grasp of technology. The incident follows another controversial remark he made last month while meeting with Bill Gates, where he claimed India has had AI for a long time, referencing that some children in India call their mother "Ai."
The latest blunders have led to a wave of online criticism, with many questioning Modi’s knowledge and the competence of his advisors. His supporters are now facing increased scrutiny as these incidents continue to unfold.
