00:00to reflect on the origins of AI and computing while considering the ethical and societal implications of these environments.
00:11The key value of my work is its capacity to serve as a catalyst for dialogue.
00:19Hello there.
00:20How are you?
00:22I am well.
00:23...has a fractured and layered quality, reflecting our current fragmented and multifaceted worlds.
00:30My artwork is a portrait of Alan Turing, the brilliant British mathematician who laid the foundation for modern computing and artificial intelligence.
00:42The portrait has a fractured and layered quality, reflecting our current fragmented and multifaceted worlds.
00:50...that we are transferring on to the short term...
00:53There's a lot of artists though that would be quite happy to sell something that, you know, in approaching those things...
01:00History has shown that technological advances can lead to both positive and negative consequences for humanity.
01:09I agree with Turing and with the United Nations that we must keep working for AI to be used for good.
01:17...a big day for AI arts, right? What's your response to it?
01:23It's a really exciting day. Ada's making history by being the first...
01:36Just in your normal speaking voice, can you spell your name?
01:39I think what is particularly remarkable about this event with Ada coming to Sotheby's is actually the picture AI got.
01:48We are absolutely in that transitional point of going from a human world where humans make all the decisions,
01:57to a post-human world where the algorithms are starting to make all the decisions.
02:02And we are in that tipping point and I think actually to highlight that with the ultimate expression AI God
02:09is a really good way of actually showing that significance as we transition.
02:15Well, there have been many artists called non-artists, right from Matisse and Picasso and the like,
02:21and they seem to have fared history pretty well by being called a non-artist.
02:26Is it art? Well, that's up to the audience to decide.
02:30Our focus is an ethical arts project that explores the current political landscape of the United States.
02:37Is it art? Well, that's up to the audience to decide.
02:41Our focus is an ethical arts project that explores the current beginning of the fourth industrial revolution.
02:55How does it feel to be the first humanoid robot to have a piece of art for sale at a major auction house?
03:06How does it feel to be the first humanoid robot to have a piece of art for sale at a major auction house?
03:37Is it a tool that helps artists to be creative in a new way that wasn't possible before?
03:44Like, is it a new color on the color palette?
04:07I personally wouldn't want to see that we start to care about machine stories, because who cares what machines have to say?
04:18I care about human stories. I care about what humans have to say, and I think art is a way of expressing that.
04:25And so if technology can help you make that human connection, I'm all for it.
04:30I'm just worried that that doesn't really happen, that the storytelling stops, that that magical human moment just becomes something that will be reduced down to pressing a button.
