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?

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

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

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

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?

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

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

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?

Are there any Hollywood celebrities who never divorced? Why does it seem like celebrities are likely to get divorced frequently?

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

What software development tools does Microsoft offer for C# and .NET Core platform? Do they include CLI or GUI options?

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?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

It is a strange argument

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 set up in place?
