The Ai-Da robot standing in front of her 'AI God' painting on Alan Turing

SCIENCE & TECH: Why you’re wrong about AI art, according to the Ai-Da robot that just made a $1 million painting

Science fiction promised us robot butlers, but it seems they rather fancy themselves as artists instead. And who can blame them? On November 7, a painting of the mathematician Alan Turing by an AI-powered robot called Ai-Da sold at auction for a cool $1,084,000 (around £865,000). That’s a more appealing lifestyle than having to sprint around a Boston Dynamics assault course.

The Sotheby’s auction house said Ai-Da is “the first humanoid robot artist to have an artwork sold at auction.” It probably also set the record the most online grumbling about a painting, which is understandable – after all, shouldn’t robots be sweeping up and making the tea, while we artfully dab at the canvases?

The Ai-Da robot (seen here standing in front of her record-setting ‘AI God’ painting) uses a combination of cameras in her eyes, AI algorithms, and a robotic arm to make her artworks. (Image credit: Ai-Da)

Naturally, the Ai-Da robot and its maker Aidan Meller don’t agree that art should be ring-fenced by humans. As Marvin from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy once noted: “Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to take you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? ’Cos I don’t.”
