Ai-Da has revealed her new portrait of Her Majesty the Queen. Titled ‘Algorithm Queen’, the portrait was created to mark the celebrations of the Platinum Jubilee this June Bank Holiday. It is the first time in history a humanoid robot has done an artwork of member of the Royal Family.

 At the time of the Queen’s coronation the first circuit board computers had only just been invented, a design which remained mainstream until the 1960s. Over her seventy-year reign, the Queen has witnessed an unprecedented burst of innovation in computer technology in the UK, including the birth of machine learning and artificial intelligence, forces shaping the modern world as we know it today.

 By using cameras in her eyes, an innovative painting arm debuted in London back in March, and sophisticated AI algorithms, Ai-Da robot’s mixed-media interpretive portrait of the Queen is a celebration of and reflection on the phenomenon of technology throughout the Queen’s reign. A supporter of new and innovative technologies, Queen Elizabeth II was the first Royal in history to embrace email, 3D television, podcasts and even Twitter.

 Ai-Da says: "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. I think she's an amazing human being, and I wish The Queen a very happy Platinum Jubilee."
