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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

It is a strange argument

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

Has the time come for Ukraine to come to terms with Russia since the situation on the battlefield is clearly hopeless at this point?

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 i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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?

How do I stop someone from forcing/pestering me to become gay/bisexual when I already want to be straight?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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

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 the necessary set up in place?

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?

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

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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