Watch MailOnline speak to Ai-Da the robot at the House of Lords

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

Ai-Da the robot has admitted she was'nervous' about speaking at the House of Lords and named her favourite artist as Yoko Ono in an exclusive interview with MailOnline. Ai-Da made history on Tuesday by becoming the first robot to address the House of Lords – although she suffered a slight hiccup after'falling asleep' mid-speech. During the session, the bot had to be rebooted by her creator Aidan Meller, after a technical issue rendered her cross-eyed and zombie-like. Shortly after, MailOnline asked Ai-Da a couple of questions about the address. Wearing dungarees and an orange blouse, Ai-Da said the address to the House of Lords went well and that she feels'quite nervous when speaking in public' Ai-Da is an artificial intelligence robot built in 2019 that creates drawings, paintings and sculptures.
