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

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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Why does Meghan Markle seem to struggle with acceptance in Hollywood despite her royal title and celebrity connections?

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?

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

How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?

Was that a comparable argument ?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

How did you as a human being change while growing up?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

It is a strange argument

Is it possible for doctors to diagnose prostate cancer just by looking at a patient?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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
