文字稿

Meet Ai-Da, the robot artist.       

来认识一下机器人艺术家 “艾达”。

It’s a slow and steady process but effective. These are a few of her recent self-portraits. And what’s more, she’s happy to have a chat!

她的作画过程慢条斯理，却卓有成效。这些是她最近画的几张自画像。她还很乐意和人聊天。

How are you today?

“你今天好吗？”

Ai-Da, robot
I am well, thank you.

机器人 “艾达”
“我很好，谢谢。”

How would you rate yourself as an artist?

“作为一名艺术家，你如何评价自己？”

I love to be creative. I enjoy being someone who makes people think.

“我很喜欢发挥创造力。我喜欢做一个能激发别人思考的人。”

She answers questions, each painting is different and a surprise. You could almost say she has a personality.

她会回答问题，每幅画都不一样，都是一个惊喜。你几乎可以说，她是拥有个性的。

Priya Khanchandani, Curator, Design Museum (London)
Fundamentally, it’s… that’s a funny question. I think the prospect of getting to know her is hilarious. But at the same time, I mean, peering over at her now. And I do think… I think her makers probably consider that they have some form of relationship whether that is reciprocated or not.

普里雅·坎钱达尼       英国伦敦设计博物馆策展人
“从根本上说，这是一个很有趣的问题。我觉得说要去了解她，很有意思。但与此同时，现在看着她，我确实认为……我认为制造她的人可能觉得他们之间有某种形式的联系，不管这种联系是不是相互的。”

David Sillito, BBC correspondent
Ai-Da, could you look across there to the camera? We are all used to these days, talking to machines and our phones, but creativity is [a] rather different question and this is meant to be a little bit unsettling – a little unnerving.

大卫·西利托       BBC通讯员
“艾达，你能看那边的镜头吗？如今，我们都习惯了与机器和手机交谈，但创造力却是一个颇为不同的问题，所以我面前的这番景象有点让人心绪不宁。”

Aidan Mellor, Ai-Da Project
The thing that concerns us about technology is the fact that we don’t know the domino effect of it. Ai-Da foreshadows many technologies coming through and she poses those questions by her artwork, to say – this is what’s coming through – are we happy with that?

艾丹·梅勒       “艾达” 项目
“技术之所以让我们担心，是因为我们不知道它会带来怎样的多米诺骨牌效应。艾达预示了诸多技术的来临，她通过自己的艺术作品提出了这些问题，像是在说：这就是未来的技术，我们对此满意吗？”

So, Ai-Da the artist. It’s painting today, who knows what, tomorrow?

这就是艺术家艾达。今天它会画画，谁知道以后人工智能技术还能做些什么？
