Overview

• The oil painting 'Algorithm King' was unveiled at the United Nations’ AI for Good Summit in Geneva and presented alongside Ai-Da’s earlier royal portrait.
• Ai-Da relied on AI-driven algorithms, eye-mounted cameras for visual reference and a robotic arm to generate and execute brushstrokes without a live sitting.
• Conceived in 2019 by art dealer Aidan Meller with AI specialists at Oxford and Birmingham, Ai-Da has exhibited at venues from the Tate Modern to the Venice Biennale.
• In late 2024, Ai-Da’s portrait of Alan Turing became the first humanoid-created artwork to fetch over US$1 million at auction.
• The robot artist emphasizes that its work is intended to spark ethical reflection on technology’s role in creativity rather than to replace human creators.
