The humanoid robot artist Ai-Da has created a portrait of computer science pioneer Alan Turing, which recently made headlines for its potential record-breaking auction sale at Sotheby’s. This artwork, titled A.I. God, not only marks the first auctioned painting credited to a robot artist but also explores the complex relationship between humanity, technology, and the future of artificial intelligence. Created by Ai-Da’s developer Aidan Meller, the painting incorporates muted tones and fragmented facial features, symbolizing Turing’s legacy and his visionary warnings about AI's influence on society. With an expected sale price of up to $180,000, this piece has been heralded as a historic contribution to both AI and art, further heightened by Sotheby’s decision to accept cryptocurrency as payment.

Ai-Da’s creation of Turing’s portrait continues the artist robot’s role in provoking discussions around AI's societal impacts. Displayed previously at the United Nations, the portrait underscores Turing’s influence on AI ethics, echoing his advocacy for responsible technology use. Ai-Da herself commented that the portrait serves as a dialogue on the ethical implications of emerging technologies, encouraging viewers to reflect on AI’s potential to redefine human values and artistry in the digital age.

X is Testing a Free Version of AI Chatbot Grok

X is now testing a free version of Grok, its AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI. Previously available only to subscribers of X’s Premium+ service, this new offering allows free users to try Grok with a limited number of interactions. In New Zealand, the current trial permits users to send 10 queries every two hours and up to three image-based questions daily. This restricted access allows a larger audience to experience Grok’s capabilities, such as image analysis and real-time information retrieval, while helping xAI gather valuable user feedback.

This move aligns with X's goal to build a competitive alternative to leading chatbots like ChatGPT, embedding Grok with Musk’s distinct touch of humor and wit. By expanding accessibility, xAI aims to enhance Grok’s functionality through user engagement and insights, potentially laying the groundwork for a broader rollout. This initiative may also provide a pathway for X to diversify its revenue model and retain users, marking a strategic expansion in the AI market.
