Humanoid robot Ai-Da that sold first robot art at auction for over $1 million now says it's not aiming to ‘replace human artists’

The humanoid robot Ai-Da, one of the most advanced in the world, unveiled a new oil painting titled "Algorithm King" at the United Nations' AI for Good summit in Geneva. The portrait depicts King Charles III and was created using artificial intelligence algorithms. Late last year, Ai-Da made history when its portrait of Alan Turing became the first artwork by a humanoid robot sold at auction, fetching over $1 million. The robot, created in 2019 by a team led by Aidan Meller with specialists from the universities of Oxford and Birmingham, is designed to resemble a human woman with interchangeable robotic arms.
