India needs to employ AI to foster innovation and growth: Mukesh Ambani
According to Mukesh Ambani, Reliance is committed to building 2,000 megawatts (MW) of AI-ready computing capacity across cloud and edge locations.
India has the data and the talent, but Ambani said the country also needs digital infrastructure that is ready for artificial intelligence and can handle the enormous computational demands of the technology.
The chairman of the Reliance Group noted that the conglomerate has been active in enhancing its talent pool with AI capabilities.
Mukesh Ambani, group chairman of Reliance, urged India to use AI in his speech at the 46th annual general meeting (AGM).
“A global AI revolution is reshaping the world around us. And sooner than we think, intelligent applications will redefine and revolutionise industries, economies, and even our daily lives. To stay globally competitive, India must harness AI for innovation, growth, and national prosperity,” said Ambani.
The chairman of Reliance Group also mentioned that the conglomerate has been working hard to add AI skills to its talent pool, particularly generative AI skills. Jio Platforms wants to take the lead in creating AI models and solutions that are specific to India, Ambani said, “thereby delivering the benefit of AI to Indian citizens, governments, and businesses alike”.
“India has the data and the talent, but we also need AI-ready digital infrastructure that can handle artificial intelligence’s immense computational demands,” said Ambani, adding that Reliance stands committed to creating 2,000 megawatts (MW) of AI-ready computing capacity across both cloud and edge locations.
Ambani also stated that Reliance Industries intends to switch to green energy for the majority of its energy use in connectivity and digital services.
“Seven years ago, Jio promised broadband connectivity to everyone, everywhere. We have delivered. Today, we promise AI to everyone, everywhere and we shall deliver,” the RIL chairman added.
