"Haunting" robot-made painting of Alan Turing expected to fetch at least $120K at auction

**A 7-foot-tall artwork by humanoid robot Ai-Da, titled AI God, is set to go on sale at Sotheby's auction house.

The piece, titled AI God, depicts Alan Turing, a computer pioneer who predicted it would take at least 100 years for a machine to pass his Turing test. Ai-Da, the world's first ultra-realistic robot artist, works by "watching" the canvas through cameras in her eyes, which feed data into AI algorithms that guide her robotic hands with precise movements.

Ai-Da has created several portraits, music icons, and celebrities, and has basic language abilities thanks to an internal AI model. The artwork aims to highlight the tensions in our increasingly AI-driven world and question the boundaries between digital and physical, human and machine.
