Speaking at Mumbai Tech Week, Ambani said JioBrain will be launched “in the coming quarters as we perfect [its] use cases”.
JioBrain was announced at Reliance Industries Ltd’s 47th Annual General Meeting on August 29, 2024. The company had said JioBrain, aimed at broadening the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in India, will empower developers and service providers to create AI applications and use AI tools for their services.
Initially, JioBrain will be integrated into Jio’s own apps and services, as well as those of other Reliance-operated companies, to refine its functionalities. In the future, Jio plans to extend JioBrain’s AI services to external vendors.
Or, as Ambani put it, “build a brain for them”.
“You can have ML (machine learning) as a service, where you don’t have to have particular expertise or costly infrastructure that comes with building an AI business,” he said.
Jio’s Cloud PC Play
Ambani said Jio will shortly launch a cloud PC application, which opens up access to high-end computing for anyone with just a computer and an internet connection. Cloud computing is an application through which a system, regardless of its hardware specifications or operating system constraints, can operate on remote hardware housed in a server farm, or the cloud.
“We have an application that we’ll be shortly launching, which is a cloud PC — a complete PC in your cloud that is accessible in each of your homes [and is] device-agnostic,” he said, “You can build high compute AI applications on top of that.”
Ambani said Jio has taken up the mantle of leading the way by catering to the needs of consumers and enterprises. “I think it’s our responsibility to create that impact — at a consumer level that we will be doing with our direct products … [and] for businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs in India,” he said.
