Ai-Da Robot, the world's first ultra-realistic robotic artist, is set to make history on Tuesday as the first robot to speak before the House of Lords to tackle the issue of the future of creativity under attack from the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology.
The London Economic reports that Ai-Da will give a fresh perspective on the role of technology in producing art in the future, how AI art will be different from what human artists can produce, and the limitations of technology in art. It will argue the benefits of using AI in creativity and present the risks linked with technology that should be carefully considered.
Ai-Da: The World's Ultra-Realistic Robotic Artist
According to Ai-Da's website, the robot can draw and paint using the cameras in her eyes, the AI algorithms installed in her program, and her robotic arm. The robot was created in February 2019 and even had her first solo show at the University of Oxford, titled "Unsecured Futures," which encourages viewers to think about the rapidly changing world.
The robotic artist has also traveled and exhibited her work internationally, including a virtual exhibition at the United Nations. In 2021, she had her first museum exhibition in the Design Museum. Ai-Da's first solo exhibition this year was during the Venice Biennale at the Concilio Europeo Dell'Arte in the Giardini.
The world is rapidly changing as technology becomes more advanced, and the role and definition of art also changes over time. The masterpieces made by Ai-Da are considered art because it reflects the wide use and integration of technology in today's society.
According to its website, they recognize Ai-Da's work as an art based on the criteria set by Professor Margaret Boden that it should be new, surprising, and of cultural value. But there are still issues of what separates AI art from the art made by humans.

Ai-Da in the House of Lords
Ph.D. students and professors built the capabilities of Ai-Da at the Universities of Oxford and Birmingham, MailOnline reported. Next week, Ai-Da is set to talk in the House of Lords to give a fresh perspective on technology's role in creating future art and the difference between AI and human art.
Aidan Meller, a specialist in modern and contemporary art and director of the Ai-Da Robot project, said that the robotic artist's abilities bring into question the foundations of the art world and creative business. Its maiden speech at the House of Lords will help people understand how an AI-powered robot sees the world and what it could mean for the future of the creative industry.
Ai-Da's speech will explore the role of machine learning, machine creativity, and AI in today's world as fears rise that AI could replace humans someday. The robot was named after the 19th-century mathematician Ada Lovelace who believes in the promise of machine creativity but also cautions about the risks associated with the technology.
The robotic artist has already made many arts, including a painting of a portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II to mark the monarch's Platinum Jubilee this year.
