He mentioned that AI is rapidly growing and has an impact on almost every sector. The company is working towards strengthening its talent pool in order to assimilate the global innovations around AI, especially Generative AI. He added that Jio Platforms will create 2000MW of AI-ready computing capacity across Edge and Cloud locations.
