A historic event has occurred in China's higher education system — for the first time, a robot with artificial intelligence has become a university student instead of a human. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
A humanoid robot named Xueba, studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, will learn complex fields such as acting, film art, and traditional Chinese opera for four years. At the end of the educational process, it will defend a dissertation and receive a diploma like other students.
Xueba has a human-like appearance, can communicate, and expresses emotions through facial expressions. It describes itself as "an artificial intelligence living with art."
This news has sparked various opinions on social media. Some users rated it as a new stage of scientific and technological advancement, while others emphasized that art arises only from human feelings and experiences.
Additionally, some mentioned the robot's acquisition of educational resources and reminded of the material difficulties faced by students. Experts state that this project could accelerate the automation process in education, but the human factor cannot be replaced by a robot.
This event is causing widespread discussions not only in China but around the world. The boundaries between artificial intelligence and humans are becoming blurred, and these issues are expected to become even more relevant in the future.
Thus, technology is moving to a new stage, and in the future, robots may also perform roles alongside human actors on theater stages and screens. Xueba will usher in a new era in the world of art.
