The world’s first robotic artist has been released from Cairo Airport after 10 days in custody.

Border guards felt the humanoid, named Ai-da, posed a security risk as she had cameras in her eyes, but they freed the UK-made creation in time for an art show at the Pyramids.

The “security issues” were thought to include worries that she was part of a wider espionage plot, in part because she had a modem, and a potential enemy of the state.

Ai-da's technology enables her to use the cameras implanted in her eyes to translate what she sees into fine art. The project is updated as advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are made.

Ai-da has created a clay sculpture based on the riddle of the Sphinx, which is part of the first contemporary art exhibition at the Pyramids in thousands of years.
