Gautam Adani Advocates for Inclusive AI Revolution in India
AI Should Empower All Sectors
In New Delhi, Gautam Adani, the chairman of the Adani Group, emphasized that the artificial intelligence revolution in India should extend beyond corporate boardrooms. He believes its true impact will be realized when it empowers employees, farmers, nurses, and small businesses.
Key Highlights
During the CII Annual Business Summit 2026, Adani stated that the goal of AI should not be to eliminate jobs but to enhance productivity and create new opportunities.
He cited the success of UPI as an example, noting that technological revolutions succeed when they expand accessibility, trust, and opportunities.
Adani stressed that AI should not only be about chips, servers, and algorithms but also involve technicians, operators, and millions of skilled workers.
Emphasis on Indigenous AI
Adani warned against the dangers of relying on a digital ecosystem controlled by external entities.
He asserted, 'India must develop, operate, and own its AI infrastructure within the country.'
The Adani Group has invested $100 billion in clean energy, digital infrastructure, and data centers, while also partnering with major tech firms like Google and Microsoft.
Building the Future
Gautam Adani remarked, 'The future does not come on its own; it must be created. The next fight for freedom will be in our grids, data centers, factories, classrooms, and laboratories.' He emphasized that in the age of intelligence, freedom will mean generating power, computing, and dreaming for ourselves.
The aim of AI in India should not only be technological advancement but also social and economic inclusivity. This vision will open new doors for ordinary citizens and small businesses.
