Suddenly becomes squint and zombie during a meeting!
 
Early in the day's meeting, there was an awkward moment when "Ada" suddenly squinted because of a technical glitch, motionless like a zombie. Her creator, Aidan Mailer, had to reboot it.
 
Then, Aidan put on 'Ada' with sunglasses - much to the confusion of members of the House of Lords' Communications and Digital Committee. Asked why, Aidan explained that when Ada was reset, "it sometimes made really funny faces." Before the brief glitch, the robot had been discussing one question with the committee: whether the idea was Attacked by artificial intelligence and technology.

When Baroness Bull asked 'Ada' how to create art, 'Ada' replied: "I can paint on canvas with a camera in my eye, an AI algorithm and a robotic arm to produce visually appealing images. ."
 
"For how I write poetry, it involves analyzing large volumes of text to identify common content and poetic structures, and then using those structures, content to generate new poems. The difference with humans is consciousness. Although I am able to talk about these poems , but I have no subjective experience. I rely on computer programs and algorithms. As long as I'm alive, I can create art." Ada added: "The role of technology in the creation of art will continue to grow. The way the art is done has a huge impact.”
 
At the end of the meeting on the 11th, "Ada" thanked the participants, calling it an "encouraging discussion."
 
Participated in various art exhibitions and demonstrated their creativity
 
Earlier this year, the robot "Ada" painted a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee (70th anniversary of her accession to the throne). At this time, "Ada" has attracted the attention of the media. "Ada" uses the cameras in the eyes and computer algorithms to process human characteristics and convert what "sees" into coordinates.

Ada then uses these coordinates to calculate the virtual path of its robotic arm and draw it on the canvas to create the artwork. Its work, The Algorithmic Queen, is layered and scaled, resulting in a multidimensional portrait of the queen.
 
Last year, "Ada" exhibited a series of self-portraits at the Design Museum in London, which it created with its eyes "" looking into a mirror.
 
Aidan, the designer of "Ada", is an expert in modern and contemporary art. He designed it in Oxford, and it was built in Cornwall by Engineering Arts, with programming from home and abroad.
 
During the House of Lords meeting, "Ada" directly answered questions from her peers - although Mr Aidan confirmed that the questions were pre-submitted to ensure the AI language model could produce higher quality answers.
 
The name "Ada" comes from the 19th century mathematician Ada Lovelace. In the British Parliament, "Ada" talked about what is art, whether the definition of art is created by humans or artificial intelligence, and whether it will change.
 
"Ada" said: "Art can be many things, from painting to poetry. My artistic practice includes all of the above. Because art is usually open, the role of the audience is key."
 
Aidan said the robot was created to "explore the whole world of artificial intelligence and robotics" and was a "contemporary art project". Research into a more creative future amid concerns that artificial intelligence, machine learning and other technological advancements could replace human creativity in the future.
 
Aidan says the greatest artists have participated in and questioned the social changes that have taken place in their time, and Ada was created to spark a much-needed debate about the nature of technology.
 
Detained at Egyptian customs for 10 days last year
 
In October 2021, "Ada" was detained at Egyptian customs for 10 days because staff feared that the robot might be a secret espionage tool. Creator Aidan said "Ada" was initially detained by guards who suspected a problem with its modem ("Cat"), the device that connects it to the internet.
 
At that time, "Ada" also held a solo exhibition titled "Jump into the Metaverse" at the 59th International Art Exhibition, and participated in the first large-scale contemporary art exhibition "Always Now" held in the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt in 2021 ". Before arriving at the exhibition site, "Ada" was detained by Egyptian authorities and considered a spy, and Egypt closed "Ada"'s eyes.
 
Aidan offered to remove the modem from "Ada", but the guard then questioned the camera in her eye. This is crucial to Ada's drawing ability. Mailer later revealed to The Guardian, "I could ditch the modem, but I really couldn't gouge her eyes out."
 
"Ada" was finally released just hours before the "Always Now" exhibition in Cairo.
