Rating : False Five rating


Several social media users have circulated claims about an Indian man speaking vulgar things to a robot. X user ‘ArunKosli’ shared such a post with a caption in Hindi : “AI सम्मिट के दौरान हमारा भारत देश चीन जैसे देश को टक्कर सिर्फ बच्चा पैदा करने के मामले में ही दे सकता है ।। क्यूंकि भारत के पुरूषों के दिमाग में वही जिस सबसे ज़्यादा रहती है जिससे वो पैदा हुआ है। काम को तो ये लोग लौ…. पर रखते हैं छयाढरमोद” In English this reads : During the AI Summit  Our India can only compete with a country like China in one thing—  the number of children produced.  Because in the minds of Indian men, the thing that stays the most is the very thing they were born from. The post expresses rage against the embarrassment that this alleged man from India was doing in front of others. View the post below

FACT CHECK

DigitEYE India decided to investigate this claim and found that it is false. The man heard making inappropriate remarks is Kashif Zameer, a social media personality from Pakistan. The footage was captured at Dubai’s Museum of the Future, where he is seen interacting with a humanoid robot named Ameca.

According to a report by PIB, the India AI Impact Summit 2026, held from 16 to 21 February, drew nearly “6 lakh attendees” in person and recorded over “9 lakh cumulative views” online, with participation from more than 100 countries. The event also set a Guinness World Record for the “most pledges received for an AI responsibility campaign in 24 hours” and announced the expansion of sovereign compute capacity.

We first conducted a reverse image search from various keyframes of the video to learn about its origin. The search took us to an Instagram post uploaded by user ‘kashif999zameer’ on February 17, 2026. The caption of the post states : “Robot shocked what I said Chaudhary Kashif Zameer #KashifZameer #dubie #foryoupageviralジ #trendingreelsvideo” View a screenshot of this below – 

Next, we checked the Instagram profile of the user to confirm the identity and find the video on the feed. The bio states that the person is from “pakistan, Lahore, Pakistan 115” with other occupation details like public figure, politician, industrial businessman, tiktoker, etc. View a screenshot of the bio and the reel located on the feed – 

Lastly, we checked whether this clip was from India’s AI summit or conducting a reverse image search on the robot in the clip. The search took us to multiple old Youtube clips (here, here and here) that revealed this robot is Ameca from The Museum of the Future in Dubai. This is not from India’s AI summit that was held from 16–21 February 2026. 

Thus, the claim is false.
