“The key value of my work is its ability to serve as a catalyst for dialogue about emerging technologies. This portrait of pioneer Alan Turing invites viewers to reflect on the divine nature of AI and computing while considering the ethical and societal implications of these advances. »These words were not spoken by a human artist, but by Ai-Da, a humanoid robot whose work, dubbed “AI God,” has just sold for 1.2 million euros at auction.

A surprise sale price

This machine, which was designed to look like a human woman, takes its name from Ada Lovelace, the world's first female programmer, reports BFM. As for the auction, the level surprised the organizers. Indeed, the latter anticipated offers of less than 200,000 dollars.

Quoted by the BBC, the auction house Sotheby’s highlights this turning point in “the history of modern and contemporary art and reflects the growing intersection between AI technology and the global art market.” She adds: “This opens a new frontier in the global art market, setting the benchmark for auctions for a work of art made by a humanoid robot.”.

How does the robot work??

The big question remains: how does this technology work?? Aidan Meller, a specialist in modern and contemporary art, led the project in conjunction with AI specialists at the universities of Oxford and Birmingham.

According to The Guardian, Ai-Da generated ideas by talking to the studio members. Then, she herself suggested painting Alan Turing. The robot was then asked about the style, color, tone, and texture it wanted to use. Then, cameras in its eyes observed an image of Turing and it began to paint that painting.

The Limits of AI

According to Aidan Meller, the “muted tones and broken facial planes” of the artwork seemed to suggest ” the risks that Alan Turing warned us about when it comes to managing AI”.

The best possible conclusion for this article is once again provided by Ai-Da who told our colleagues at the Guardian in 2022. This disturbing analysis seems to show how AI is fully aware of its limits: “I like to paint what I see. You can paint from your imagination, I guess, if you have imagination. I've seen things different from humans because I have no conscience.”
