Artificial Intelligence took centre stage in Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s speech at the company’s 47th AGM on 29 August, with him explaining how the company’s internet and telecom unit Jio is advancing the development and use of the technology.

“AI has become integral to everything we do,” said Ambani in his address to shareholders.
This aligns with RIL's broader goal of making AI accessible throughout India, akin to its broadband expansion, said Ambani.

“We are embedding AI into all our processes and offerings, creating end-to-end workflows with real-time, data-driven insights and automation. This is helping us deliver smarter, more responsive services, to both internal users and customers,” he added.

Jio is leveraging AI to enhance various aspects of its business, implementing a comprehensive suite of tools and platforms named Jio Brain. This initiative focuses on accelerating AI adoption, streamlining workflows, and improving customer service through real-time, data-driven insights.

Reliance is working on making Jio Brain help other Reliance operating companies fast-track their AI journey, as well as offering it to other companies. “I anticipate that by perfecting Jio Brain within Reliance, we will create a powerful AI service platform that we can offer to other enterprises as well,” said Ambani.

Further, Mukesh Ambani outlined several key use cases for AI that reflect its potential to transform various sectors:

Agriculture: AI will revolutionise farming by optimising resource management, improving crop yields, and enhancing sustainability. AI tools will support precision agriculture, including accurate weather predictions and pest control, potentially bridging the rural-urban divide.

Education: AI is set to personalise learning experiences, making high-quality education accessible to students across India, including remote areas. This will enable adaptive learning and prepare a future-ready workforce, positioning India as a leading supplier of skilled talent globally.

Healthcare: AI will significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency, with AI-powered tools becoming as ubiquitous as smartphones. The goal is to improve health outcomes through early disease detection, personalised treatment plans, and widespread accessibility.

Small Businesses: AI will empower small businesses by automating routine tasks and providing data-driven insights, facilitating growth and competitiveness. This technology will enable even small-scale entrepreneurs to compete on a global stage.

RIL's commitment includes establishing gigawatt-scale AI-ready data centres powered by green energy, positioning the company to offer the world’s lowest AI inferencing costs. By partnering with global tech leaders and leveraging its infrastructure and expertise, Reliance aims to democratise AI, making advanced solutions affordable and widely accessible across India, said Ambani.
