Ai-Da, a humanoid robot artist, has achieved a significant milestone with the sale of her artwork 'A.I. God' at Sotheby’s Digital Art Sale. The large-scale portrait of Alan Turing, created as part of a five-piece collection, fetched $1.32 million, far exceeding its estimated value of $120,000 to $180,000.
The piece is a tribute marking the 70th anniversary of Alan Turing’s death. In a statement, Ai-Da described 'A.I. God' as a reflection on the power of emerging technologies and the ethical questions they raise. She explained that the title of the painting, which combines elements of artificial intelligence with religious imagery, aims to provoke thought about the potential consequences of AI on society.
The sale of 'A.I. God' is the first time a humanoid robot’s artwork has been sold at auction. The event highlights the increasing role of artificial intelligence in the art market, with AI-generated works gaining recognition and value among collectors and institutions alike.
Ai-Da, whose unique artistic process includes using her robotic arm to paint with watercolors, continues to challenge traditional notions of authorship and creativity. Her work often explores themes related to the intersection of technology, humanity, and ethics.
