For the first time in history, a humanoid robot spoke at a hearing in the British Parliament.

Actually, this is she - Aida (Ai Da). Appears like a woman and mostly draws, but is also able to communicate with her voice. She was invited to a hearing in the House of Lords. The topic is the impact of digital technologies on creativity. In particular, the question was raised that people are losing their jobs due to the fact that they are being forced out of the market by robots. Here the creator of Aida, Aidan Meller, had to intervene, who said that one should not treat it like that. Robots are an opportunity, not a threat. In the hall, they asked Aida how she creates her paintings. To which I received this answer: I paint with the help of cameras in the eyes, AI algorithms and signals transmitted to the hand, which ultimately leads to the birth of visually attractive images on the canvas.
