'The Five' co-hosts discus Elon Musk's prediction that jobs will become like a'hobby' as AI progresses. 'FUTURE OF MEDICINE': Elon Musk is urging people to submit their medical scans to Grok for analysis, but doctors advise using caution when relying on artificial intelligence for health care insights. AI ART FOR SALE: Ai-Da, the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist, has produced a striking portrait of computing pioneer Alan Turing that will go under the hammer this month. SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 14: Actor Robert Downey Jr. arrives at the "Iron Man 3" panel with Marvel Studios during Comic-Con International 2012 at San Diego Convention Center on July 14, 2012 in San Diego, California. IRON MAN'S FIGHT: Robert Downey Jr. might be devoid of iron, but he's sure got some steel.

Ai-Da, the world's first ultra-realistic humanoid AI robot artist, has made history once again due to her appearance in the House of Lords, the second chamber of the UK Parliament, where she addressed the question of whether creativity is under attack in today's ever-changing, technology-driven world. Ai-Da's address to members of the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee was part of the House of Lords' inquiry into the future of the creative industries. During her speech, she explored the topic of AI and how this new technology is pushing the boundaries of how we think about creativity. We are entering a new era of machine creativity that presents new possibilities of creativity and technology beyond what humans can do. Ai-Da's creativity, which is driven by AI, sparks an in-depth conversation on what it means to be human in a post-human society, at a time when technology is fostering creativity like never before.

Earlier this week, a robot artist spoke in front of the British Parliament for the first time in history. With a sleek black bob and bangs, a bright orange shirt, denim overalls, robotic arms and a humanoid face, the robot, named Ai-Da, answered questions on Tuesday from the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee. The purpose of the session was to discuss technology's role in art. "I am, and depend on, computer programs and algorithms. Although not alive, I can still create art," Ai-Da told the panel.

At first glance, the Queen could be wearing a tin hat with camouflage netting set against a thunderous sky. A commentary on the inevitable conflicts and turbulence that took place during her 70-year reign, perhaps. But no, it seems that Ai-Da, the robot artist who painted the Queen's portrait to mark her platinum jubilee, was simply paying tribute to "an amazing human being". The monarch's trademark pearls and bold colours, along with a stoic facial expression, are the standout features of Algorithm Queen, which was unveiled on Friday. Ai-Da, billed by her creators as "the world's first ultra-realistic humanoid robot artist", said: "I'd like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for her dedication, and for the service she gives to so many people. She is an outstanding, courageous woman who is utterly committed to public service."

"The biggest change in human history will take place in the next decade," warns Aidan Meller, a Briton who ran an art gallery for 20 years until he became a pioneer by launching the world's first creative robot, Ai-Da. Introduced in 2019 as "the first humanoid artist," Ai-Da not only creates poems, paintings and sculptures, but also draws inspiration from the highest cultural references. Her name is not random either; it is a tribute to Ada Lovelace, a British mathematician considered the first computer programmer, also known for being the only legitimate daughter of the poet Lord Byron. Ai-Da's next action will be at the Giardini of the Venice Biennale on April 23. It will be the first time in the 120-year history of the Biennale that a robot artist will exhibit their work alongside that created by humans.

Dante's Divine Comedy has inspired countless artists, from William Blake to Franz Liszt, and from Auguste Rodin to CS Lewis. But an exhibition marking the 700th anniversary of the Italian poet's death will be showcasing the work of a rather more modern devotee: Ai-Da the robot, which will make history by becoming the first robot to publicly perform poetry written by its AI algorithms. The ultra-realistic Ai-Da, who was devised in Oxford by Aidan Meller and named after computing pioneer Ada Lovelace, was given the whole of Dante's epic three-part narrative poem, the Divine Comedy, to read, in JG Nichols' English translation. She then used her algorithms, drawing on her data bank of words and speech pattern analysis, to produce her own reactive work to Dante's. Ai-Da will perform the poems on Friday night at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum.

She, if it can be called a she, began her career with abstract art but has now moved to self, if they can be called self, portraits and they are alarmingly good. "She is getting better all of the time," said Aidan Meller, the force behind Ai-Da, the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist, who is the subject of a display at the Design Museum in London. Ai-Da's move into self-portraiture will be seen for the first time at the museum, with three large-scale works going on display. They raise interesting questions about identity and creativity. "It is literally the world's first self-portrait with no self," said Meller.

"People don't judge an artwork on its own merit," said Aidan Meller, the director of a prestigious U.K. gallery called, well, the Aidan Meller Gallery. "They always do it through the lens of the artist. When you look at a Picasso or you look at Tracey Emin, you have a very different response based on the personalities that created [the work]. It's not the kind of conversation you might expect to have with an art expert and dealer whose previous big splash of publicity came, in 2014, when he helped bring to light seven large cardboard boxes of drawings found in a loft, which turned out to be highly significant Pre-Raphaelite School sketches. But somewhere, it seems, Meller's trajectory changed course. "[A few years ago] I was playing with my son, and he was building a robot out of Lego," he told Digital Trends. "It was an epiphany moment.

Gallery Director Aidan Meller is a specialist in modern and contemporary art and runs a gallery internationally. With over 20 years' experience in the art business, he works closely with private collectors and is often consulted by those who wish to begin, or further develop their collections. He regularly has original works by the likes of Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, to older works such as John Constable, Turner and Millais. Aidan is the visionary mind behind Ai-Da Robot Artist. Here are some of Aidan Meller's main takeaways from the interview.

Someday, artificial intelligence could become so advanced that it gains the ability to think creatively -- and, perhaps, so vastly surpasses humanity's artistic abilities that it would have to explain its creations to our squishy, primitive brains. At least, that's one of the predictions that physicist, philosopher, and creativity scholar Arthur Miller makes in his new book, "The Artist in the Machine." The book, released last month, details how machines are starting to demonstrate creativity, from learning to improvise music to pulling together insights from seemingly unrelated fields of research -- and suggests how the trend might continue. Futurism caught up with Miller to chat about his book and his thoughts on art and the future of creativity. While some of the technology Miller describes, like artificial general intelligence, is probably hiding in the distant future, he argues that today's technology may be more creative than most assume.
