16-year-old Sarina Esmaeilzadeh likes to vlog to share her life – singing, dancing, putting on makeup, cooking, celebrating exams… She is no different from girls of the same age all over the world; occasionally, she sighs in the film The discrimination and restrictions a woman faces in Iran prevents her from enjoying the freedoms a teenager needs to live a good life.

Esmersaad took to the streets on September 22 to join the protests that swept the country after she was beaten to death by Iranian security forces, according to Amnesty International.

Esmersaad’s case has drawn attention online, and while the Iranian government claims she committed suicide by falling from a roof and denies authorities any responsibility, human rights groups say her story is consistent with the arrest of minors by security forces. Even the pattern of repression in the killing, and the fact that the family was “forced” to go on TV to verify the cause of death, was strikingly similar to that of another 16-year-old, Nika Shakarami.

Shakarami also died during protests last month. According to the family, she was killed by security forces after burning her turban, and authorities also claimed she fell from a roof. The uprising over the death of a young woman is intensifying because of the deaths of other girls.

Quote of the Day

“Although not alive, I can still create art.”

Can artificial intelligence (AI) create art? Robot artist Ai-Da expressed his views on this at a UK parliamentary hearing on the impact of technology on the creative industries.

Ada, who appears with short black hair and a denim outfit, is named after the British female mathematician and programming pioneer Ada Lovelace , who has previously created a series of works. It joined the head of Project Aidan, Aidan Meller, to answer MPs’ questions (answers were pre-written) at a hearing before the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee.

Ada, who was restarted after a failure during the meeting, said that he used algorithms, cameras in his eyes, and robotic arms to paint on canvases, and explained how to create poems by “analyzing large amounts of text”; and was asked what is the difference between human and AI creation. At the same time, it admits that it relies on computer programs and algorithms. “Although I am not a living person, I can still create art… The difference with humans is consciousness. Although I can talk about these, I have no subjective experience.”
