RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani said on Monday that Jio Platforms is eager to lead efforts in developing India-specific AI models and AI-powered solutions across domains, bringing the benefits of this new-age technology to Indian citizens, businesses, and government.
Ambani described Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the most exciting frontier of growth for Jio at the 46th Annual General Meeting of Reliance Industries.
Ambani pledged the company’s commitment to build up to 2,000 MW of AI-ready computing capacity across cloud and edge locations, all while adopting sustainable practices and working toward a greener future, PTI reported.
According to the RIL CEO, a global AI revolution is reshaping the world, and intelligent applications will redefine and revolutionize industries, economies, and even daily life sooner than expected.
To remain globally competitive, India must use AI for innovation, growth, and national prosperity, according to him.
“Here is my promise to our countrymen. Seven years ago, Jio promised broadband connectivity to everyone, everywhere. We have delivered. Today Jio promises AI to everyone, everywhere. And we shall deliver,” he vowed.
Within the RIL group, talent pool and capabilities are being augmented to swiftly assimilate the latest global innovations in AI, especially the recent advances in generative AI.
“Looking ahead, Jio Platforms wants to lead the effort in developing India-specific AI models and AI-powered solutions across domains, thereby delivering the benefit of AI to Indian citizens, businesses, and government alike,” he said.
India has the scale, the data, and the talent, Ambani noted.
“But we also need digital infrastructure in India that can handle AI’s immense computational demands. As this sector expands, we stand committed to creating up to 2,000 MW of AI-ready computing capacity, across both cloud and edge locations…Over the next five years, we plan to shift most of our energy footprint in connectivity and digital services to green energy, which is not just eco-friendly but also lower cost,” he said.
