Humanoid robot Ai-Da paints portrait of UK’s King Charles

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, JUL 16 – Ai-Da's portrait sparks debate on AI's role in creativity and ethics as her artworks have reached over $1 million in sales, highlighting evolving technology in art.

  • The humanoid robot artist Ai-Da created an oil portrait titled "Algorithm King" of King Charles III, which was presented during the AI for Good Summit held at the United Nations in Geneva in 2024.
  • Ai-Da was developed in 2019 through a collaboration led by British art dealer Aidan Meller and a group of engineers, aiming to raise ethical and creative discussions about AI in the art world rather than to serve as a substitute for human artists.
  • The unveiling coincided with the AI For Good Summit, where Ai-Da also displayed her earlier portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, celebrating the Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
  • Ai-Da emphasized that unveiling her portrait of King Charles III goes beyond artistic creation, serving as a reflection on how artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing cultural and societal developments.
  • The event sparked debate on AI's impact in the arts, raising ethical and cultural questions while affirming Ai-Da’s role as a catalyst for dialogue rather than a human artist replacement.
