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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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?

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

Do individuals with borderline personality disorder have awareness of their actions or do they believe their behavior is normal?

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

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
