Not knowing if the invention of an artist robot could even be possible, Aidan Meller, an independent designer and artistic director, owes the existence of AI -DA – The first ultra-realistic robot in the world Appointed by calculating the pioneer Ada Lovelace – to speed science.
In collaboration with a group of revolutionary art and technology experts, Meller is proud of the variety of AI-Da talents. The robot’s arms, for example, were created in collaboration with the undergraduate students of the University of Leeds Salahedin Al Abd and Ziad Abbas. The two students created AI-Da weapon of Dration and AI developed algorithms used by AI-DA to create human drawings.
“By 2025, important sections of society will change due to AI. People will no longer go to a doctor, but to an application instead. Thanks to AI, applications will be more precise than ‘A medical advice from a doctor.
Complimenting AI-Da’s ability to draw is the linguistic capacities of the robot. According to Meller, AI-Da can generate much more complex unique answers than the Amazon Alexa device.
The realistic characteristics of AI-DA are also anchored via the incorporation of a silicone face. Designed by the researcher Lucy Seal, the digital artist Alex Kafoussias and the 3D Tim Milward designer, the characteristics, the movements and the gestures that AI-DA is intended to make, Prose questions about human identity in the digital age.

“By 2025, important sections of the company will change due to the AI. People will no longer go to a doctor, but to an application instead. Thanks to AI, applications will be more precise than a doctor’s medical advice, “said Aiden Meller The new Arabic When asked what the future reserves for humanoid robots.
“Likewise, people will no longer go to lawyers. The future is based on data And, in my opinion, such dependence will be better in terms of precision. How does A-Da integrate into all these future considerations? It will simply become more relevant in time because the technology will be more omnipresent, ”he adds.
Until now, AI-DA has been presented in a number of exhibitions, including the recent Dante – Invention of celebrity At the Ashmolean museum in Oxford. At the time of opening the exhibition in September 2021, AI-Da recited poetry in response to Dante’s Divine Comedy, an Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, known to be one of the most gifted writers of the old European medieval time.
Looking towards the future, AI-Da has entered a relatively new phenomenon: Metavevers. Described as an online space where people can socialize, work and play like avatars, Ai-Da has contributed to the metavese by portion Derme an egg of wooden metavese fossilized in 24CT gold, also known as the imperious egg.
An additional appearance in the metavese has included AI-DA resistant An ultra-futuristic personalized dress made by Auroboros, the first fashion house to merge science and technology with a physical seam, as well as digital ready to wear.
Despite the creators of AI-Da considering their invention as the first ultra-realistic robot in the world, others have argued the opposite. Before an exhibition to be held at the Great Pyramid of Gizeh in Egypt, AI-Da was owned by customs for 10 days, due to suspicion of the possession of secret spy tools.
After his release on October 21, 2021, AI-Da managed to present a self -portrait Entitled “Immortal Riddle” in Art of Egypt Forever it’s now exposure. The portrait addresses the ancient Egyptian subjects of the world of spirits, combined with modern fascination to achieve immortality via the use of biotechnology in the 21st century.
Espionage accusations are not a new occurrence in Egypt. In September 2013, the Egyptian authorities decree A migratory stork that had landed in Egypt after having traveled from Hungary via, Among other countries, Israel.
The allegedly captured by a fisherman who saw the bird with suspicion after having spotted an electronic apparatus linked to him, the unlucky stork was transmitted to the local police station of Qena, a city located on the east bank of Nile in high -Egypt.
After new research, it happened that the “camera device” was, in fact, an operational monitoring tool attached by Hungarian scientists who were investigating avian migratory habits.
Thanks to mediation by nature, to the conservation of Egypt (NCE), La Cigogne, also known as the menes, was released in a natural reserve. According to Haitham Mossad, ornithologist and member of the NCE, Menes finally flew to an island on the Nile where he was captured and ate.
Elsewhere in the MENA region, there have been other espionage cases recorded. This list is long and includes: Fourteen squirrels seized in Iran in 2007 while apparently trying to infiltrate the country with “spy equipment”; Two pigeons, who were walking with an intention around an uranium enrichment factory, again in Iran, in 2008; A delinquent vulture imprisoned in 2011 by the suspected Saudi authorities that he had missions for Israel; A bird seized in Sudan in 2012, also accused of espionage for Israel; And an identified vulture for monitoring by the University of Tel Aviv and imprisoned in 2016 in Lebanon when its GPS issuer sparked anxieties that he was an agent for Mossad, the Israeli National Intelligence Agency.
Such anxieties are understandable when they refer to post-2011 changes in the MENA region, Especially after the Arab Spring. By focusing on Egypt in particular, the country was under the influence of an important transformation in terms of its social, economic, cultural and political conditions.
Without a doubt, the story of menes can be better understood as a too important memory of the mental state of a country, if not as a region, which lives constantly in an increased state of apprehension with regard to external forces And, certainly, interior machinations.
The involvement of AI-Da in spy allegations was an interesting event. In a world where AI is gradually taking, important questions must be asked. Do we want to depend on artificial intelligence to assume roles specifically assigned to humans? Will such an event be a good turning point for humanity? Will this transformation be good for the environment and our mental health?
