Does this AI artwork, sold for $1.3M, prove machines can think?
This week the first artwork produced by the humanoid bot Ai-Da, sold at auction, priced at around $1.32 million dollars. The artwork named A.I. God was listed by Sothbys.

Context
This week the first artwork produced by the humanoid bot Ai-Da, sold at auction, priced at around $1.32 million dollars. The artwork named A.I. God was listed by Sothbys. Last week I wrote about three humanoid robots by the three companies: Tesla, FigureAI and 1X. This humanoid robot artist Ai-Da was created in 2019, by a gallery director named Aidan Meller at Oxford. According to Wikipedia, Ai-Da was named after Ada Lovelace, an English Mathematician and writer known for the work of the Analytical Engines. Ai-Da can draw and paint, she often painted her self-portrait using different forms through her own way of expressions. I was quite impressed by her artwork, the self-portrait she created and also the artwork of the portrait of Alan Turing that sold for the first time record-high to make history.

Analysis
The connection she had with Turing, the god of artificial intelligence, is magical enough to provoke reflection. Also read: 3 pioneering humanoid bots that may change your life The A.I.God artwork, painted through mixed media, shows the right face of Alan Turing with the right hand of Ai-Da, seemingly still drawing the other half face of Alan Turing on the other side of the canvas, above a black background. For a long time robots have been made for performing a single duty and it’s almost become our reflex to think it can only provide certain duties and services to human beings. Yet more and more creative work is being done by AI than what we could never have imagined before. “We are absolutely in that transitional point of going from a human world where humans make all the decisions to a post-human world, where the algorithms are starting to make all the decisions.”
Key Points
- Ai-Da is a humanoid contemporary artist whose portrait of Alan Turing sold at auction, fetching $1.32million in New York.
- Humanoid robot artist like Ai-Da raised the question among public about AI technology in creative field.
