Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures. — Georges Braque.
Ai-Da Robot, the world’s first realistic humanoid robot artist, has shown her new painting portrait of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II.
It is the first time in history a humanoid robot has painted a member of the Royal Family.
The ‘Algorithm Queen’, the portrait painting was created to mark the celebrations of the Platinum Jubilee this June Holiday.
At the time of the Queen’s coronation the first circuit board computers had only just been invented, a design that remained mainstream until the 1960s.
The Queen has witnessed an unprecedented burst of innovation in computer technology in the UK, including the birth of machine learning and artificial intelligence… that is shaping the modern world as we know it today.
