Akash, noting that AI is absolutely critical for realising our dream of Viksit Bharat by 2047, said, “At Jio, we have begun our efforts to bring the benefits of AI to every Indian, everywhere, just as we did with mobile broadband.”

“We are committed to democratising AI, offering powerful AI models and services to everyone at affordable prices,” he added.

Expedite Data Center Policy

He emphasised that the scale and speed of multilingual data generation in India will drive the AI revolution and will grow exponentially. Hence, he requested the government to expedite the Data Center Policy.

“We request the government to expedite the updating of the 2020 draft of the Data Center Policy. Indian data should remain in Indian data centers. Therefore, Indian companies ready to set up AI and machine learning data centers should receive all necessary incentives, including incentives for power consumption,” he said.

“Indian mobile companies, along with the thriving ecosystem, are in a position to offer solutions to the rest of the world, including developed countries,” Ambani said.
