Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, is rolling out a new initiative through Jio to convert aging personal computers into AI-ready systems for approximately $11 for two months. The solution leverages cloud computing infrastructure to deliver high-performance AI processing capabilities to low-spec hardware without requiring users to purchase expensive modern chips or upgraded PCs. By offering affordable subscription-based virtual compute, Jio aims to democratize access to advanced artificial intelligence tools for millions of Indian students, small business owners, and software developers who rely on legacy computer hardware across the country.
