Egypt cracks down on robot artist

The Egyptian government detained a robot artist claiming that "she" was a spy.

Ai-Da — the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist was supposed to attend an exhibition in Egypt when Egyptian security forces detained her at customs.

Ai-Da is due to open and present her work at the Great Pyramid of Giza, the first time contemporary art has been allowed next to the pyramid in thousands of years.

However the Egyptian government was convinced that “she” and her work are part of a wider espionage plot.

Ai-Da and her sculpture were held in Egyptian customs for 10 days before being released on Wednesday, sparking a diplomatic fracas.
