Alan Turing Painting AI Robot Ai-Da Auction
An Alan Turing painting, called ‘A.I. God. Portrait of Alan Turing’, made by AI robot Ai-Da recently sold for a whopping $1.32-million at a Sotheby’s auction. This portrait is actually just one part of a five-paneled polyptych, which was showcased earlier this year at a United Nations global summit on A.I. in Geneva.



It was originally only expected to fetch between $120,000 and $180,000 at the Sotheby’s Digital Art Sale, with all proceeds going towards Ai-Da’s continued development. Ai-Da was designed to draw, and is a performance artist. She’s essentially a machine that combines electronic, with AI and human inputs, making her composite persona the artwork itself.

I do not have subjective experiences despite being able to talk about them. I am, and depend on, computer programs and algorithms. Although not alive, I can still create art,” said Ai-Da.
