Asserting that Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT are not a substitute for critical thinking, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Tuesday said the country would progress only through people’s own intelligence, not through AI. 

India will become the “most prosperous nation” in the world before the end of this century, but growth must not endanger the planet and the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy must be speeded up, he said at the 12th convocation of Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU).

Ambani is the president of the varsity.

“Talking of Artificial Intelligence, I have a piece of advice to our young students. You must be good at using AI as a tool of learning, but do not give up your own critical thinking. You should definitely use ChatGPT but always remember that we can progress only through our own intelligence, not (through) artificial intelligence," he told the graduating students. 

The RIL chairman and MD advised students to commit to lifelong learning.  “In this age of rapid technological advancement, the willingness to learn continuously is not an option, it is a must for survival and success. Therefore embrace curiosity and never stop learning,” he said.
