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?

It is a strange argument

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

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

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 is the future of artificial intelligence?

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

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

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

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

How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Microsoft will finally stop bugging Windows users about Edge — but only in Europe - The Verge

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

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

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

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

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