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?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

—

Was that a comparable argument ?

It is a strange argument

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

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?

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?

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?

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

For one thing, moon travel is not a commercial thing and the benefits of moon travel are primarily futuristic and at a level which cannot be immediately monetized

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

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

Who are the actual "science deniers": people who wait until vaccines are proven effective, or people who believe that there are more than two genders?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Is there a specific time frame for therapists to tell their clients they are wrong?

Your Mars mission was also 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

Are there really people who still believe the Earth is flat?

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

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

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?
