Modi’s AI summit turns awkward as tech leaders Sam Altman and Dario Amodei dodge contact

India’s prime minister has put AI rivals Sam Altman and Dario Amodei in an awkward spotlight at a summit in New Delhi. On Thursday, Narendra Modi invited a group of tech leaders to hold hands and raise them together on stage to reflect their commitment to building inclusive AI. Altman and Amodei stood next to each other but didn't clasp hands. They hesitate, then lift their fists instead.
