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?

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?

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

AI identifies key gene sets that cause complex diseases - Medical Xpress

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

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

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

Have you ever been spanked in front of a group of people?

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

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

It is a strange argument

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?

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

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

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

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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
