Reliance Industries has pledged to invest ₹10 lakh crore (trillion) in the next seven years as chairman Mukesh Ambani unveiled an ambitious roadmap to put Jio at the core of India’s artificial intelligence (AI) journey. ADVERTISEMENTThe investment, to be made by Reliance and Jio together, is not to be guided by profit motive alone, the chairman said. According to Ambani, Jio would use the same playbook for AI as it did to drive down the cost of data in India. Ambani said the data centres would be powered by green energy, allaying fears that AI infrastructure will guzzle fossil fuels and ramp up India’s carbon footprint. “We have an in-house energy advantage with up to 10 GW of ready green-power surplus, anchored by solar in both Kutch and Andhra Pradesh,” the RIL chairman informed.
