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 States put living people on the moon?

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

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

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

I have a bad reputation and need help. What should I do?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

What is the most sentimental item you inherited from someone dear to you and what does it mean to you?

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?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

It is a strange argument

Developing a Multimodal AI means challenging a 500 Billion dollar to possibly 1 Trillion dollar worth of investments made by the Big 5 Companies in the States - Google, Meta, Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft

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

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

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

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

Will AI allow companies to upskill their call center agents, as Ikea did with its interior design training?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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