Billed as “one of the most exciting artists of our time”, Ai-Da is the brainchild of Aidan Meller, who claims she is the world’s first ultra-realistic humanoid artist, able to draw creatively thanks to artificial intelligence (AI).
Ai-Da is named after Ada Lovelace, the English mathematician and writer often called the world’s first computer coder.
Ai-Da uses her camera “eyes” to capture what is in front of her, which an internal computer translates into coordinates of the image to be plotted on paper. She ran currently hold only hard tools like pencils, not brushes. Her paint works are printed onto canvas with a human painting it over. Her works of art include abstract images and pencil sketches of historical figures from Leonardo da Vinci to Alan Turing.
Ai-Da can move, allowing what Meller calls “performance art”. He hopes that she will eventually be able to intuitively communicate and describe her own artwork. For the moment she is given voice by a human helper.
Art work created by Ai-Da for her first exhibition has already sold for over 1 million.
