On Oct 11, robot history was made when Ai-Da, a human - like robot artist talked at a meeting in the UK. The topic for the meeting was " A Creative Future ".
Ai-Da paints using cameras in her eyes and robotic arms. She " thinks " and answers questions using AI algorithms （算法）. She has painted the UK queen and had her work presented in galleries（画廊）.
Describing herself, Ai-Da told people at the meeting that " I am a robot and I depend on computer programs and algorithms " and " although not alive, I can still create art ". Amusingly, at the meeting, Ai-Da " slept "- it shut down and had to be restarted. But her ability to answer questions in real time shows the huge developments of AI. These are developments that will continue.
One person who seems interested in this is Elon Musk. He is planning on creating his own Al robots for his company, Tesla. Musk presented Tesla's human - like robot, named Optimus, at Tesla's AI Day on Sept 30. Tesla showed videos of their robot doing simple tasks like carrying boxes and watering plants, said CNN.
With robots becoming more and more part of our daily lives, we may have to learn to live with them. But will people be happy to have these robotic friends or will they feel threatened(威胁的)by them? As Ai-Da said," Technology can be both a threat and an opportunity. "
