Bill Gates canceled his speech scheduled for Thursday at a major global summit on artificial intelligence, the Gates Foundation said, after the name of the Microsoft founder appeared in the Epstein file, writes AFP, taken by news.ro.
After careful consideration and to ensure that attention remains focused on the key priorities of the AI Summit, Gates will not deliver his keynote address, the foundation announced.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several technology leaders will talk about the opportunities and threats of artificial intelligence at a global AI summit in New Delhi on Thursday.
The Gates Foundation stated that the president of its offices in Africa and India will speak on behalf of Bill Gates.
E-mails from Jeffrey Epstein, published on January 30 by the US Department of Justice, from the documents in the Epstein file, evoke the extramarital affairs of Bill Gates.
In this message, which does not appear to have been sent, Jeffrey Epstein bragged about helping “Bill” get medication to “fix the consequences of having sex with Russian girls.”
The Microsoft founder said he “regrets every minute” he spent with the sex offender, but insisted he had nothing to complain about, denouncing the “absolutely absurd allegations coming from a patent liar.”
The mere mention of a person's name in the Epstein file does not imply any a priori crime on the part of that person. But these documents at least show the links between the sex offender or his entourage and certain personalities who minimized, even denied, the existence of such relationships.
