New DelhiStepping up the company’s AI and cloud play, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Thursday announced that Jio users will get up to 100 GB of free cloud storage to securely store and access their photos, videos, documents, digital content and data.
Addressing the 47th AGM of RIL, Ambani said the Jio AI-Cloud Welcome offer will be launched during the upcoming Diwali, which would bring a “powerful and affordable solution where cloud data storage and data-powered AI services are available to everyone, everywhere“.
“Jio users will get up to 100 GB of free cloud storage to securely store and access all their photos, videos, documents, all other digital content, and data. And we will also have the most affordable prices in the market for those needing even higher storage,” he said.
Jio firmly believes that AI should not be a luxury reserved for a select few, he said, adding that AI services must be accessible on all devices, not just expensive, high-end devices.
“This requires a delivery model where AI services and the data processed by AI are both hosted in the cloud, allowing every user to access their data and AI services from anywhere, on any device, over low-latency broadband networks,” Ambani said.
This is the only way to ensure that everyone will benefit from AI, irrespective of their socio-economic background.
“We call this concept Connected Intelligence. As a first step to Connected Intelligence, every user needs ample and affordable data storage capacity in the cloud, with the highest levels of privacy and security. With data safely stored in the cloud, AI can deliver intelligent, personalised services over the network,” he said.
Jio has added its voice assistant “Hello Jio“ to its newly launched operating system, Jio TvOS. This will enable TV users to control their Set-Top Boxes with voice commands.
It will be accessible through the mic button on the Jio remote.
“Recently, we made Hello Jio even smarter using the latest Generative AI technologies, improving its natural language understanding and making it feel more human-like. Now, finding content on JioSTB is easier than ever. For example, just say, ‘Hello Jio, find action movies,’ and it will search across all your apps like Amazon Prime, Disney+, HotStar and more,” Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani said.
Akash Ambani also introduced the JioPhonecall AI service, letting users record and store any call in Jio Cloud and automatically transcribe it.
“It can also summarise the call and even translate it into another language. This allows anyone to easily capture and access important voice conversations, making them searchable, shareable, and understandable across languages -- all with just a few clicks,” he said.
