The robot spoke to the British Parliament: what differentiates it from humans is consciousness
Members of the House of Lords Communications and Digitization Committee asked Ai-Da how her paintings were produced and how this differs from the way people create art. The robot says it is able to create thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms, cameras placed in “eyes” and a robotic arm. – What is different from humans is consciousness; I don’t have subjective experiences, although I can talk about them – he added.
As reported “The arts journal“, Meller explained that his robot is a “contemporary art project” that aims to see if “it is possible to criticize ¶shed technology using technology that speaks for itself.” He added that he was “very aware” that his robot “is a provocation”.
