Background

Ai-Da was designed by Engineered Arts, a Cornish robotics company, in collaboration with algorithms developed by scientists at the University of Oxford, and robotic arms and hands developed by AI engineers at Leeds University.[2][3] Her face and head were built using "Mesmer” technology – the same technology responsible for the robots in the HBO show Westworld – with the goal of creating a mixed-race appearance.[4] She uses a camera in her eye to draw with her robotic arm.[5]

In June 2019, Ai-Da's artworks were featured in a gallery show called Unsecured Features at St. Johns College.[6]

In July 2020, Ai-Da featured in the 1975's music video for their song Yeah I Know from their number 1 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.
