Ai-Da is a humanoid robot credited with being the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist.[1][2] Completed in 2019, Ai-Da is an artificial intelligence robot that makes drawings, painting, and sculptures. She is named after Ada Lovelace.[1] The robot gained international attention when it was able to draw people from sight with a pencil using her bionic hand and cameras in her eyes.[3]
Development
Ai-Da was invented by gallerist Aidan Meller,[4] in collaboration with Engineered Arts, a Cornish robotics company.[5] Her drawing intelligence was developed by computer AI researchers at the University of Oxford,[6] and her drawing arm was developed by Salaheldin Al Abd and Ziad Abass, undergraduate students from the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Leeds.[5][7]
Shows and appearances
In May 2019, Ai-Da executed a live performance called Privacy at St Hugh's College, Oxford. This work was a homage to Yoko Ono’s seminal work Cut Piece.[8]
In June 2019, Ai-Da's artworks were featured in a gallery show called Unsecured Features at St John's College, Oxford.[9]
In October 2019, Ai-Da collaborated with artist Sadie Clayton on a series of workshops at Tate Exchange, Tate Modern, London – Exploring Identity Through Technology – hosted by A Vibe Called Tech.[10][11]
In June 2019, Ai-Da featured at the Barbican Centre, London, in WIRED Pulse: AI.[12]
In September 2019, Ai-Da was invited to Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria: European ARTificial Intelligence Lab exhibition entitled Out of the Box: The Midlife Crisis of the Digital Revolution.[13]
In November, 2019, Ai-Da was invited to do a series of workshops at Abu Dhabi Art in Manarat Al Saadiyat, UAE.[14]
In December 2019, Ai-Da had her first in-depth interview with Tim Marlow, the Artistic Director at the Royal Academy, at the Sarabande (Alexander McQueen Foundation), London, Inspiration Series.[15]
In February 2020, Ai-Da did her first TEDx talk in Oxford called The Intersection of Art and AI.[16]
In July 2020, Ai-Da featured in The 1975's music video for their song "Yeah I Know", from their album Notes on a Conditional Form. In the video she was tasked with drawing what she thought the human consciousness looked like and composing a poem in response to the song lyrics.[17]
In October 2020, Ai-Da was featured by the United Nations in a virtual exhibition launched by The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) launched "WIPO: AI and IP, A Virtual Experience."[18]
In May 2021, Ai-Da did her first artist residency at Porthmeor Studios, St Ives. She worked in Studio 5 in response to Ben Nicholson’s art, who worked in the same space during the 1930s and 1940s.[19]
In May 2021, Ai-Da's display Ai-Da: Portrait of the Robot was at the Design Museum, London.[1]
In October 2021, while entering Egypt for an exhibition at the Great Pyramid of Giza, Ai-Da was held for ten days by border guards who "feared her robotics may have been hiding covert spy tools".[20]
On 22 April 2022, Ai-Da was scheduled to launch the world premiere of her solo exhibition titled "Leaping into the Metaverse" at the 59th Venice Biennale.[2]
