A HUMANOID robot that uses AI algorithms, cameras and metal arms to paint is having artwork sold by a world renowned auction house.
Ai-Da, as the robot is known, will be the first robot to have its artwork sold at Sotheby’s.
The auction for an abstract painting of Alan Turing, titled ‘AI God’, begins today, and is expected to fetch somewhere between $120,000 and $180,000.
The proceeds will go toward Ai-Da’s continued development.
“I am intrigued to see my art, AI God, at Sotheby’s,” Ai-Da said in a statement.
“My artwork uses a fractured and multilayered approach, and this shows the deeper emotional and intellectual layers of Alan Turing himself.”
