“#NFT digital artwork by humanoid robot Sophia up for auction<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

HONG KONG \u2013 Robot artist Sophia, whose first artwork goes up for auction on Wednesday, says she draws inspiration for her work from people and is open to future creative partnerships with humans.<\/p>\n

A digital artwork by the Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics humanoid, in the form of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), is to be auctioned in the first sale of such pieces created jointly with artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n

NFTs, a digital signature saved on blockchain ledgers that allows anyone to verify the ownership and authenticity of items, have become the latest investment craze, with one artwork selling this month for nearly $70 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the people like my work, and the humans and I can collaborate in new and exciting ways going forward,\u201d Sophia said in her studio, speaking in a flat voice.<\/p>\n

She wore a silver-coloured dress and held a pen.<\/p>\n

Sophia, who was unveiled in 2016, produced her art in collaboration with 31-year-old Italian digital artist Andrea Bonaceto, known for colourful portraits, some of which depict famous people, such as Tesla\u2019s chief executive, Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

The robot has combined elements from Bonaceto\u2019s works, art history, and her own physical drawings or paintings on various surfaces multiple times in a process her creator David Hanson describes as \u201citerative loops of evolution\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use transformer networks and genetic algorithms in my art, and other kinds of computational creativity,\u201d Sophia added. \u201cMy algorithms output unique patterns that never existed in the world before. So I think the machines can be creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Called \u201cSophia Instantiation\u201d, the digital work is a 12-second MP4 file showing the evolution of Bonaceto\u2019s portrait into Sophia\u2019s digital painting, and is accompanied by a physical artwork, painted by Sophia on a printout of her self-portrait.<\/p>\n

After the auction, Sophia will interact with the successful bidder, to study his or her face, and add a final inspired brushstroke to the artwork.<\/p>\n

This will serve, says Hanson, \u201cto make it a unique artwork encompassing data of the new owner and that personal connection, at that moment in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bonaceto said the collaboration aimed \u201cto make a statement in the art world, and even the technology<\/a> world,\u201d heralding a new road on which AI robots and humans collaborate, enhancing each other.<\/p>\n

Sophia\u2019s art could be \u201ca very, very important historical piece,\u201d said Pablo Fraile, an art collector based in Miami and an early buyer of Beeple, as American artist Mike Winkelmann, creator of the NFT work sold this month for millions, is known.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first time these ideas are put together.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would pave the way for more innovation in the AI art space, he added.<\/p>\n

US-based IV Gallery will represent Sophia as an artist and promote her.<\/p>\n

\u201cSophia has that unlimited freedom, like a five-year-old has, and no restrictions to what she can do,\u201d said gallery director Vincent Harrison.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fascinating to see this new way to create.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
