Turing (1912-1954) is considered the father of modern computing. The auction house estimates the cost of the painting between $115,000 and $197,000. The painting, called AI-God, is part of a multi-day auction that runs through October 29.
This is not the first picture AI-Da painted. Thus, in the past, a robot dressed as a woman and named after the British mathematician Ada Lovelace played, among other things, Queen Elizabeth II. To do this, the machine uses cameras and computer memory, and then uses various algorithms.
Turing’s painting was first presented at the United Nations in May 2024. Sotheby’s says it is committed to exploring the intersection of art and technology. This recognizes outstanding women artists who have played an important role in the development of digital art.
AI-Da can also speak thanks to the AI language model. In particular, he said he pays tribute to Alan Turing’s achievements and contributions to the development of computer technology and artificial intelligence.
