She explained that the situation arose out of \u201centhusiasm and unclear expression&#8221; rather than a deliberate claim.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">\u201cThe controversy happened because things may not have been expressed clearly. I take accountability that perhaps I did not communicate it properly, as it was done with a lot of energy and enthusiasm and very quickly,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">She added that her remarks were not articulated clearly and expressed regret over how they were interpreted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Responding to the allegations, Singh clarified that the university had not built the robotic dog. She explained that the machine was purchased as part of the institution\u2019s investment in artificial intelligence and was intended to serve as a practical learning tool for students, rather than an in-house innovation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">VIDEO | Delhi: Professor Neha Singh of Galgotias University responds to reports of the university being asked to vacate its stall at the AI Summit Expo, says, \u201cThe controversy happened because things may not have been expressed clearly.
