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?

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

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?

What the ‘Revenge Tax’ Is in the Tax Bill—and How It Could Pummel the Dollar - Barron's

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

I have Audacity 3.7.0 and was wondering how I can remove the vocals from a song while still keeping the hook (chorus)?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

It is a strange argument

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

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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