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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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 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

How do you view men and women who cheat?

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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?

Scientists reveal the conflict-ridden history of an important biblical city - The Brighter Side of News

Was that a comparable argument ?

It is a strange argument

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

What are some good fantasy books that contain aspects of magic in them?

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

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

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

What is your review of working in EY?

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?

If a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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