Robot falls asleep while answering: The first humanoid robot to address Britain's Parliament
Written byTimes Magazine
AI-DA became the first female humanoid robot to address the British Parliament House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee on Tuesday questioned AI-DA on artificial intelligence (AI).
The world's first hyper-real artificial robot AI-DA is adept at drawing, painting and sculpting. Answering questions about a technical glitch in this parliament, he suddenly fell asleep, after which his eyes began to look like zombies.
Aidan Mellor, creator of AI-DA, had to reboot this. After the eye defect, AI-DA had to answer questions wearing glasses, so the face wouldn't look scary.
AI-DA is a female robot that looks like a human. It was prepared by Mailer in 2019. PhD students from Oxford University and Birmingham University and their professor developed the robot's capabilities. He then developed the Cornwall Engineering Arts and Sciences programme.
AI-DA is named after British mathematician Ada Lovelace. AI-DA first came into the limelight when he created his painting for Queen Elizabeth's 70th birthday.
AI-DA paints with a camera in the eyes
AI-DA said it can paint on canvas with a camera in its eyes, its own artificial intelligence and robotic arms, which is pretty impressive. Since there is no subjective experience, AI-DA takes the help of computer program algorithms to create the painting.
The role of AI in art is important
During the conference, AI-DA was asked whether artificial intelligence could pose any threat to the creative industries. On that he said - In the coming time, the role of technology in art making will increase. Technology is being used in the art that is still being made.
AI-DA can also recite poetry
Regarding artistic work, AI-DA said that art can take different forms. I love painting, drawing and reading poetry. Aidan Mellor, the robot's creator, said questions to ask were already fed into the AI-DA's system. AI-DA can revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence.
