Ai-Da becomes first humanoid robot invited to Downing Street
The robot artist speaks with the UK culture secretary ahead of its UN keynote.
Ai-Da, the ultra-realistic robot artist created by Aidan Meller, visited 10 Downing Street to talk with Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer, which its team described as a first for a humanoid robot. The visit came shortly before Ai-Da was due to give a keynote and a performance at the UN AI for Good summit in Geneva in July 2023. It followed the robot's 2022 appearance before the House of Lords. Ai-Da has become a recurring vehicle for public debate about AI and creativity in Britain.
