The rise of this Chinese AI chatbot has sparked concerns about economic and geopolitical competition between the U.S. and China, leading to a stock market dip on Monday. Just days after DeepSeek’s surge, Chairman of Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani shared his thoughts on AI, ChatGPT, and India’s growth. Speaking at the 12th convocation of Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU), he stressed that while AI is a powerful tool, it cannot replace critical thinking. “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,” Ambani told graduating students. Ambani also made a bold prediction: “India will emerge as the most prosperous nation in the world before the end of this century.” However, he emphasised that this progress must be sustainable, urging a faster shift from fossil fuels to clean energy to protect the planet. “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. DeepSeek Under Scrutiny in Europe Authorities planning to hold DeepSeek responsible.
