A portrait of Alan Turing created by Ai-Da, a humanoid robot artist, sold for $1,084,800 (£836,667) at Sotheby’s, far exceeding its estimated value of $120,000–$180,000.

The piece, titled “A.I. God,” marks a milestone as the first artwork by a humanoid robot sold at auction, highlighting the merging of AI and contemporary art.

The sale has sparked discussions over AI’s expanding influence, with Ai-Da’s creators saying the artwork’s role in prompting ethical and societal reflections on AI.

The portrait honours Turing’s legacy as a pioneer in computing and artificial intelligence, as well as his pivotal role in cracking Nazi secret codes during World War II.
