What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

Was that a comparable argument ?

Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Ashwin talked of the Moon mission being at a fraction of the cost but did he also talk of the objectives of the various moon missions of other countries?

U.S. economy stalled in May, Fed survey finds - MarketWatch

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

On the other hand, a mission to the moon, something already done by everyone else of consequence, is not something that would challenge anyone's interest in any way

Is mouth taping at night a legitimate anti-snoring method or is it just a popular internet trend without scientific backing?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China

Didn't the States put living people on the moon?

A Maruti 800 and a Ferrari both transport people from one point to another but their entire purpose is extremely different is it not?

So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about

A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic

India made a Maruti 800 that could take a trip between two places, at a lower cost that the States that had a Ferrari take the same trip long ago

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?

So if you translate his speech, is he saying India would create a low cost AI model which will fulfil some very basic objectives and not be anywhere near the level of the latest versions of GPT or Deepseek?

It is a strange argument

Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
