Luxury broker Sotheby’s sold artwork made by the world’s first “ultra-realistic” humanoid robot Ai-Da using artificial intelligence (AI) for more than $1m – significantly higher than the estimations, ranging between $120,000 to $180,000.

Artists might still be wary and skeptical of artwork by artificial intelligence, but art collectors are seemingly on board. Sotheby’s recently held an auction for the first artwork made by a humanoid robot.
