Jensen Huang is another high profile no-show.

He was supposed to be here and hasn't arrived.

They're looking for investment, aren't they?

But I think it's fair to say.

You know, there was a bit of embarrassment yesterday when an Indian university was ordered to pack up and leave the exhibition after showing off a robot dog that it said it had developed and it later turned out had been made in China.

Meanwhile, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed the summit alongside the French president and a couple of tech bosses, and he called for children's safety on AI platforms.

Are the people gathered there going to come up with any kind of regulation over AI?

You know, I've been covering this story now for so many years and I've heard over and over again various declarations and pledges and commitments and concerns about the safety of this technology and the way in which it could be either misused deliberately or accidentally to cause harm to people.

And what I have not yet to see is anyone actually putting the brakes on with this tech that is developing so fast.

I think there is a lot of regulation around in the world.

India is very much hoping that it's going to have impact here, but whether we will see anything more than yet another declaration remains to be seen.

If there is one, and there usually is, it should arrive on Friday.
