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?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Was that a comparable 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?

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

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

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?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic
