Jio Platforms Launches Ambitious Initiative to Lead India’s AI Development
Jio Platforms, a digital services company owned by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), has unveiled an ambitious plan to spearhead the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in India. The company aims to establish itself as a leader in AI by setting up over 2000 megawatts of AI-ready computing capacity across the country.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of RIL, emphasized Jio’s commitment to bringing AI technology to every corner of India. This initiative aims to provide the benefits of cutting-edge AI to Indian citizens, businesses, and the government. Ambani views AI as a transformative frontier for Jio’s expansion, much like the promise of broadband connectivity made seven years ago.
Speaking at Reliance Industries’ 46th Annual General Meeting, Ambani highlighted the significance of AI and its potential to redefine industries, economies, and daily life. He stressed the need for India to harness the power of AI to foster innovation, growth, and national prosperity in order to remain globally competitive.
To handle the computational demands of AI, Ambani acknowledged the importance of a strong digital infrastructure. Jio plans to transition a significant portion of its energy consumption to sustainable and greener sources over the next five years. This commitment aligns with the company’s goal of ensuring both sustainability and cost-efficiency.
Within the Reliance Industries Group, efforts are underway to augment talent and capabilities to keep up with the latest global innovations in AI. Ambani specifically mentioned the recent advances in generative AI, indicating Jio’s eagerness to assimilate these advancements into their operations.
Jio Platforms aims to lead the development of India-centric AI models and solutions across various domains. By doing so, the company intends to deliver the benefits of AI to all stakeholders, including Indian citizens, businesses, and the government. Recognizing India’s vast talent pool and data resources, Jio is poised to drive the development of tailored AI solutions that cater to the specific needs of different sectors in the country.
As Jio Platforms takes the helm of India’s AI revolution, its vision for the future is one where AI is accessible to everyone, everywhere. Ambani’s forward-thinking approach positions Jio as a frontrunner in shaping the AI landscape in India and paves the way for a technology-driven future that promises innovation, growth, and national progress.
