India’s richest man now wants to turn aging computers into AI-ready PCs

Jio has introduced a cloud-based service that enables users to run artificial intelligence applications on older, low-specification computers. By streaming computing power from remote servers, the initiative aims to provide AI accessibility for a subscription fee of approximately $11 for two months. This approach targets users with aging hardware who would otherwise be unable to support modern, resource-heavy software locally.
