AI must help farmers: Gautam Adani While on Monday, Gautam Adani, said India’s artificial intelligence revolution must focus on empowering workers, farmers, nurses and small businesses rather than only benefiting large corporations and boardrooms. Addressing the Confederation of Indian Industry Annual Business Summit 2026 in New Delhi, Adani said India should reject the idea that AI is primarily meant to replace jobs. India must build AI as a force that expands productivity, creates jobs, empowers small enterprises and gives Indians the tools to compete globally. -Gautam Adani Adani compares AI with UPI Adani compared the potential impact of artificial intelligence with India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI). According to Adani, just like the latter, the former now presents India with a similar opportunity – that id to create new industries, employment ecosystems and business models.
