Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, recently addressed students at Pandit Deendayal Energy University, urging them to embrace artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT while retaining their critical thinking skills.

He emphasized the importance of balancing technology use with personal intellect, asserting that true progress stems from human intelligence rather than solely from artificial intelligence.

In line with enhancing India's AI capabilities, Ambani announced plans to build the world's largest AI-driven data center in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

His remarks come as China's AI model DeepSeek has gained traction, launching a competitive large language model, DeepSeek-R1, which poses a challenge to established players like ChatGPT.

DeepSeek has quickly become the most downloaded free app on the US Apple App Store, impacting global technology stocks and reflecting the competitive landscape in AI.

Ambani concluded his address by reminding students that as they graduate, they will enter the 'university of life', which demands self-motivation and a commitment to excellence.

Ambani urged PDEU to focus on high-quality, application-driven research in emerging fields like bio-energies, which can aid farmers and create job opportunities.

He expressed confidence that green technologies can reverse ecological degradation and improve living conditions for future generations.

Ambani highlighted the necessity of lifelong learning in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, encouraging students to cultivate curiosity and continuously seek knowledge.

During his address, Ambani projected that India is on track to become the world's third-largest economy, while also stressing the importance of environmental conservation for sustainable growth.

He called for an accelerated transition from fossil fuels to clean and green energy to combat environmental degradation and support India's growth trajectory.

He expressed support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for India to become the greenest nation and encouraged the university to align its research with this goal.
