While we still haven't resolved the copyright issues surrounding images created by generative artificial intelligences like Dall-E or Midjourney, a new challenge now appears for artists. This is Ai-Da, a humanoid robot equipped with artificial intelligence that has created a work of art that will be auctioned at Sotheby's.

Cuando aún no hemos resuelto los problemas con los derechos de autor de la imágenes creadas por inteligencias artificiales generativas como Dall-E o Midjourney, ahora aparece un nuevo desafío para los artistas. Se trata de Ai-Da, un robot humanoide dotado de inteligencia artificial que ha creado una obra de arte que será subastada en Sotheby's.

Ai-Da is a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence, developed by a team of scientists and engineers, capable of performing a variety of tasks, including drawing, painting, sculpting and even conversing. His work entitled "AI God," a monumental portrait of Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, is expected to fetch between $130,000 and $200,000.

Ai-Da was created by Aidan Maller, a gallerist who collaborated with AI specialists from the universities of Oxford and Birmingham and is able to create original works of art using techniques such as drawing and painting. His works have already been exhibited at renowned events such as the Venice Biennale and he has participated in debates on the role of artificial intelligence in creativity and art.

The robot is equipped with cameras that allow it to “see” the world around it. These cameras capture images that are then processed by computer vision algorithms. Ai-Da’s AI analyzes the captured images and extracts relevant information, such as shapes, colors, and textures. With all this, the AI ​​generates a code that controls the movements of Ai-Da’s robotic arm.

Estas cámaras capturan imágenes que luego son procesadas por algoritmos de visión por computadora, la IA de Ai-Da analiza las imágenes capturadas y extrae información relevante, como formas, colores y texturas. Con todo esto, la IA genera un código que controla los movimientos del brazo robótico de Ai-Da.

Ai-Da's body is a work of robotic engineering, with precise joints that allow her to perform complex movements. Her machine learning algorithms allow her to improve her skills over time, learning from the data she processes. In addition, Ai-Da not only knows how to paint, but her technology also allows her to interact with humans in a natural way.

El cuerpo de Ai-Da es una obra de ingeniería robótica, con articulaciones precisas que le permiten realizar movimientos complejos. Sus algoritmos de aprendizaje automático le permiten mejorar sus habilidades con el tiempo, aprendiendo de los datos que procesa. Además Ai-Da no solo sabe pintar sino que su tecnología también le permite interactuar con humanos de manera natural.

This is the first time that a work created entirely by a humanoid robot has been offered at a high-end auction, raising interesting questions about creativity, intelligence and the role of technology in our society. But it can also be said that she is not an artist in the traditional sense, as Ai-Da does not experience emotions or have an artistic conscience.

Esta es la primera vez que una obra creada íntegramente por un robot humanoide se ofrece en una subasta de alto nivel, lo que plantea preguntas interesantes sobre la creatividad, la inteligencia y el papel de la tecnología en nuestra sociedad. Aunque también se puede decir que no es una artista en el sentido tradicional, ya que Ai-Da no experimenta emociones ni tiene una conciencia artística.
