An AI-generated painting of computer science pioneer Alan Turing recently sold for (brace yourself…) $1.08 million.
Yes… You read that right.
The painting was designed and created by an AI-powered robot called Ai-Da, named after Ada Lovelace. The sale marks a new record for AI-generated art.
The painting is titled “AI God: Portrait of Alan Turing” in celebration of the legendary codebreaker, who shaped modern computing as we know it today.
The art auctioneer, Sotheby’s, had expected it to sell for around $180,000, until the winning bid soared past the million mark.
For business owners, this event is more than just a fun headline – it’s a glimpse into the expanding influence of AI. It shows us that AI could easily come to play a big role in fields that usually rely on human creativity.
The sale of the painting opens up exciting possibilities for AI in terms of innovation, process automation, and even product design. And if AI can break into the world of fine art, who knows what it could bring to the business world?!
How do you think AI could help your business?
