“# Sophia the robot set to auction NFT digital artwork <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The booming nonfungible token space is about to experience another expansion, with Sophia the Robot set to auction its own NFT digital artwork.<\/p>\n

According to an announcement on Monday, the social<\/a> humanoid robot will hold an NFT auction via the Nifty Gateway platform on Mar. 23.<\/p>\n

Sophia\u2019s NFTs are reportedly based on the works of artist Andrea Bonaceto with IV Gallery \u2014 a Los Angeles-based gallery \u2014 in charge of curating the collection.<\/p>\n

As part of the Mar. 23 auction, multiple artworks from the NFT collection will be showcased on Sophia\u2019s and Bonaceto\u2019s social media channels.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the creative process behind Sophia\u2019s interpretation of Bonaceto\u2019s art, David Hanson, creator of Sophia the Robot told Cointelegraph:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fed Andrea\u2019s works into Sophia’s own neural networks, along with many of Sophia’s latest paintings. Subsequently, she generated a powerful series<\/a> of new images, which she then rendered both digitally and as brush strokes, which she painted with her own hands.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Hanson, during the iterative process of developing the artworks, Sophia\u2019s paintings began to develop a \u201cunique personality\u201d that also resonated with Bonaceto\u2019s art.<\/p>\n

Sophia\u2019s foray into NFTs also likely represents an expansion of the robot\u2019s grasp of cryptocurrencies. Back in 2019, the humanoid personality declared that it was aware of cryptocurrencies but was not using virtual currencies.<\/p>\n

According to the announcement, the upcoming NFT drop on Nifty Gateway is only the first in a series of digital art-related endeavors for Sophia. Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET \u2014 a decentralized AI firm \u2014 will partner to create Sophia Collective.<\/p>\n

For Hanson, Sophia Collective is an important step in creating a global community for open-source collaboration in AI-oriented digital art.<\/p>\n

The popularity of NFTs continues to expand even outside the crypto space with artists and musicians getting in on the hype. Earlier in March, the Kings of Leon tokenized an album, raising over $1.45 million in the first five days of its sale.<\/p>\n

Such is the extent of the frenzy that MoonCats, a long-dormant NFT collectibles series, has recently been \u201cresurrected.\u201d Meanwhile, the mania is also attracting critics who point to the carbon footprint of NFT minting.<\/p>\n
