‘Your 6 Can Be My 9’: Galgotias University Professor Neha Singh Goes Viral After AI Summit Row (Watch Videos)
Galgotias University's Neha Singh went viral for claiming a robotic dog, "Orion", was developed in-house at the 2026 AI Summit. After experts identified it as a Chinese product, Singh defended her communication using the "6 and 9" perspective metaphor, saying "Your 6 can be my 9". The University was later reportedly asked to vacate the summit for misrepresentation.
Mumbai, February 18: Professor Neha Singh of Galgotias University has become the centre of a viral social media debate following a heated exchange at a recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) summit. A video of Singh defending the university's showcase of a robotic dog "Orion" has gone viral, specifically for her philosophical retort, "Your 6 can be my 9", which she used to explain a perceived "misinterpretation" of the institution's technological claims. The video has sparked a divide between those praising her assertiveness and critics questioning her professional conduct. Singh's remark came after a video of her introducing a four-legged robotic dog named "Orion" went viral on social media. It was alleged that the university presented a commercially available Chinese product as an indigenous innovation, which led to a controversy.
The Origin of the 'Your 6 Can Be My 9' Remark
Soon after the controversy erupted, professor Neha Singh sought to explain the incident, remarking, "Your six can be my nine". Speaking further, Singh said that the controversy happened because things were not 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, so I may not have come across as eloquently as I usually do," she added. Singh further clarified that the robot dog was not manufactured by them. "One important point is regarding the robot dog - we cannot claim that we manufactured it. I have told everyone that we introduced it to our students to inspire them to create something better on their own," the professor stated.

Your 6 Can Be My 9, Says Galgotias University Professor Neha Singh
While the "Your 6 can be my 9" remark was used to defend Singh's perspective during the resulting backlash, the core controversy involves the university allegedly passing off a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 robotic dog, renamed "Orion", as an in-house innovation. Following intense social media scrutiny, Singh and the university clarified that the robot was a purchased learning tool intended to inspire students. Despite these clarifications, reports indicate the university was asked to vacate its expo stall due to the "national embarrassment" caused by the misrepresentation.

University's Response
In the wake of the robodog controversy, the university said that it never claimed to have built the robotic dog. "Let us be clear - Galgotias has not built this robodog, neither have we claimed. But what we are building are minds that will soon design, engineer, and manufacture such technologies right here in Bharat," Galgotias University said in a statement. The university further clarified that the robodog was recently acquired from Unitree, calling it “not merely a machine on display - it is a classroom in motion". ‘Indian Data Up for Sale, Chinese Products on Display’: Rahul Gandhi Calls AI Summit Disorganised PR Show Amid Galgotias University Row.
The Role of AI in 'Viral' Academic Moments
Experts suggest that this incident highlights a growing trend where academic conferences - once private, niche events - are now subject to the same "viral" scrutiny as entertainment. The rapid spread of Singh's "Your 6 can be my 9" statement underscores how a single metaphor can overshadow hours of technical discourse on AI governance and ethics.
