World's first handsome robot goes to study for a PhD in art

China is sending robot Xueba 01 to study for a PhD in Drama and Cinema in Shanghai. If it doesn't graduate, it will be... put on display in a museum.

Robot Xueba 01 will study for a doctorate in arts for four years at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

This is the first time in the world that a robot has completed a full PhD in the arts.

Xueba 01 studies ancient Chinese opera, is given a student ID number and has a private instructor.

The curriculum combines performing arts and AI-driven technology.

Robots will have to complete their thesis and participate in graduation performances like real people.

Online, many students argued fiercely over concerns about fairness and the nature of art.

Xueba 01 responded with humor: if he failed the graduation exam, he would be "donated" to the museum.

While controversial, the event shows the expanding role of AI in education and innovation.
