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?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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 it not an entirely different ball game?

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

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

What does it mean when a British person says "I can't be asked"?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Do you think Putin wants peace with Ukraine, or does he want Ukraine?

It is a strange argument

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?

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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?

The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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

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