A painting of mathematician Alan Turing created by the AI-powered robot Ai-Da sold at Sotheby’s for $1.1 million, far exceeding initial estimates. The humanoid robot, created by artist Aidan Meller and a team of nearly 30 people, used AI algorithms to interpret photos of Turing and produce multiple paintings that were then combined into a final portrait. Ai-Da’s sale shows the growing interest and value placed on AI-generated art, even as it raises questions about creativity, authorship, and the role of technology in artistic production.
