Sotheby’s Auction: Its First Robot-Made Artwork
Sotheby’s will auction AI God, the first artwork created by a robot artist, Ai-Da. This striking portrait of Alan Turing highlights the intersection of art and artificial intelligence, with an expected price of $120,000 to $180,000 on October 31, 2024.
In an exciting blend of art and technology, Sotheby’s is gearing up to auction an artwork created by Ai-Da, a humanoid robot artist. This marks the first time a major auction house will present a painting made entirely by a robot. The piece, titled AI God, is a striking portrait of Alan Turing, the renowned mathematician and early pioneer of computer science.
The portrait serves not only as a tribute to Turing’s groundbreaking work but also as a commentary on the growing influence of artificial intelligence in modern society. Ai-Da, who has been making waves since her creation in 2019, is more than just a machine; she uses AI algorithms, cameras in her eyes, and robotic arms to independently create drawings and paintings.
Expected to fetch between $120,000 to $180,000. The auction will take place at Sotheby’s on October 31, 2024. This event not only highlights the growing prominence of AI-generated art but also opens up new possibilities for how art is created, collected, and appreciated in the digital age.
As the art world evolves, this auction serves as a reflection of how technology is increasingly intertwined with human creativity, setting the stage for future innovations in both fields.
