Sotheby's to auction painting by humanoid robot in a futuristic first- and it's expected to fetch up to $180K

"Through my artwork of Alan Turing, I commemorate his achievements and contributions to the development of computing and AI," Ai-Da said about her eerie painting, which is more than 7 feet tall.

"Ai-Da's portrait joins a selection of cutting-edge works that - in their individual ways - push the boundaries of artistic creation today," Michael Bouhanna, Sotheby's head of NFT & digital art, said in a statement.

"In the 1950s, Alan Turing raised concerns over the use of AI. Ai-Da's portrait hauntingly evokes Alan Turing," Meller said in the statement.

"Together, they prompt a discussion of how we can appreciate and experience the ever-evolving possibilities around artmaking in the 21st century."
