Tech czars Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai on August 29 addressed the Reliance Industries Ltd’s 48th annual general meeting, as RIL unveiled Reliance Intelligence, a new wholly owned unit to drive artificial intelligence in India.
The company also announced joint ventures with Meta and Google to build India-focused AI platforms, furthering its growth as “deep-tech enterprise” alongside its telecom, retail and energy businesses.
“We are at a really exciting moment in time right now. We are seeing glimpses of our AI systems starting to improve themselves. And it seems clear that superintelligence is going to greatly improve all of our existing systems and let us build things that we can't even imagine today. At Meta, we want to deliver personal superintelligence to everyone,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.
With Reliance’s scale, open-source AI models like Llama can be taken to every corner of India, the Meta CEO said.
Google parent Alphabet CEO Pichai said the search giant and Reliance are partnering to help RIL’s businesses transform using AI – from energy and retail to telecom and financial services.
“To support this AI adoption, together we are establishing a Jamnagar Cloud region, built for and dedicated to Reliance. It will bring world-class AI and compute from Google Cloud, powered by clean energy from Reliance, and connected by Jio’s advanced network,” Pichai said.
“With Reliance and the Jio ecosystem, we are excited to put AI into the hands of more people and businesses so they can do extraordinary things. This is only the beginning.”
Disclosure: Moneycontrol is a part of the Network18 group. Network18 is controlled by Independent Media Trust, of which Reliance Industries is the sole beneficiary.
