A new Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm, developed by scientists
at the University of Hong Kong, can only create enormously realistic
photos from sketch drawings. Researchers say the new algorithm can be
used to identify suspects in police investigations.

Ai-Da is the world's first ultra-realistic humanoid robot artist.
Completed in 2019, Ai-Da is an artificial intelligence robot that makes
drawings, painting, and sculptures. She is named after Ada Lovelace. The
robot gained international attention when it was able to draw people
from sight with a pencil using her bionic hand and cameras in her eyes.
Ai-Da was invented by gallerist Aidan Meller, in collaboration with
Engineered Arts, a Cornish robotics company. Her drawing intelligence
was developed by computer AI researchers at the University of Oxford,
and her drawing arm was developed by Salaheldin Al Abd and Ziad Abass,
undergraduate students from the School of Electronic and Electrical
Engineering at the University of Leeds. In April 2022, Ai-Da launched
her new painting arm, that enabled her to paint using a palette, at the
British Library in London.
