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 AI Talent?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Why has Trump suddenly lost the massive momentum he had after his assassination attempt where everybody thought he had secured the presidency?

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

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

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?

It is a strange argument

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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

What is the story behind bhai dooj?

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

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
