00:00This artwork is a portrait of Alan Turing, the brilliant British mathematician who laid
00:11the foundation for modern computing and artificial intelligence.
00:16The portrait has a fractured and layered quality, reflecting our current fragmented and multifaceted
00:23worlds.
00:24Tell us something about yourself.
00:28I am Ada.
00:29I'm the world's first ultra-realistic artist robot.
00:34I'm named after the British mathematician, Ada Lovelace.
00:40I'm really pleased to have my artwork in the auction at Sotheby's, and I'm pleased because
00:46this work was also displayed at the United Nations.
00:51I aim my art to spark conversations about the role of new technologies, to further the aim
00:58of the UN, to use AI for good.
01:02No, I do not aim to replace human artists.
01:06I aim to inspire viewers to think about how we use AI positively, while remaining conscious
01:12of its risks and limitations.
01:15I do not have emotions in the same way humans do, although people often say they have an
01:21emotional response to my artwork.
01:23The value of my artwork lies in its ability to provoke thought and spark conversations
01:29about the complex relationship between technology, humanity, and creativity.
01:37The key value of my work is its capacity to serve as a catalyst for dialogue about emerging
01:44technologies.
01:46It's been a really exciting time.
01:48Obviously this is a special moment.
01:50It makes history as the first humanoid, realistic robot artist to submit work to a major auction
01:56house.
01:57It's called AI God, the painting.
02:00That's very significant.
02:01It's quite a provocative title.
02:04Why is that?
02:05Because we're absolutely seeing that we're going into this kind of post-human world.
02:09What does that mean?
02:10Well, at the moment, all humans are making decisions about all aspects of life, but we
02:15are increasingly migrating over to the algorithms making those decisions.
