Sotheby's held what it claims to be the first auction of artwork by a humanoid robot, with the painting "A. I. God. Portrait of Alan Turing" by the robot Ai-Da selling for nearly $1. 1 million, far surpassing its estimated value of $150, 000. Ai-Da, developed at the University of Oxford in 2019 and named after mathematician Ada Lovelace, is a sophisticated robot capable of creating art using its bionic hands. Ai-Da has also painted pop music icons and other notable figures. Henrik Hanstein, head of a German auction house, expressed surprise at the sale, questioning whether works created by machines using data from other artworks could be considered art.
He remains skeptical of the sustainability of such a market despite the impressive sale figure. Aidan Mellor, director of Ai-Da Robot Studio, suggests that the project represents the dawn of the "fourth industrial revolution, " leaving the judgment of AI art to the audience. Hanstein acknowledges that art often employs the latest techniques, drawing parallels with the recent hype around NFTs. Hanstein emphasizes patience and caution regarding AI-generated art, pondering the unresolved issues of copyright and authorship. He doubts a computer's ability to be as creative as a time-defining artist but remains open to being proven wrong. The article was originally published in German.
