A portrait of Alan Turing created by a robot has been auctioned for more than £800,000 and made history in the process. Ai-Da Robot, named after Ada Lovelace, who is considered to be the first computer programmer, has become the first humanoid robotic artist to have their artwork sold by a major auction house.

The robot was inspired by Alan Turing and his worries about the role of AI in the society of the future. Ironically.

An AI robot’s painting of British computer scientist and codebreaker Alan Turing has sold for $1.08 million, becoming the most valuable artwork by a humanoid robot ever to change hands at auction and raising new questions about the role of artificial intelligence in art.

Ai-Da creates art using A.I. algorithms, cameras and robotic arms. Her abstract painting will be the first-ever artwork made by a humanoid robot to be sold at Sotheby's

Da, is the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist. The advanced humanoid employs artificial intelligence to converse and generate ideas for her work. The portrait of Turing was conceived during a discussion about "AI for good" with her studio team.

Ai-Da, the world’s first humanoid robot artist, made history when her portrait of Alan Turing sold for over $1 million, sparking conversation on AI’s role in art and technology’s future.

A robot named Ai-Da used its algorithms, camera vision, and robotic arm to create a portrait of AI pioneer Alan Turing. Sotheby's thought it would go for a max of $180,000.

Mathematician Turing was a pioneer of computer science and known as the father of artificial intelligence (AI). The auction house said the historic sale "launches a new frontier in the global art market,

Artificial intelligence ventured into new territories when Ai-Da, the robot artist’s painting, sold for $1.08 million at a closed auction in New York. The drawing was of the British mathematician Alan Turing.
