In New York, an original painting generated by artificial intelligence has sold for more than 38 times its anticipated price—igniting the question of whether AI could become a threat to human creativity.
The painting was a portrait of Edmond de Belamy; it’s a blurry picture of a man in a dark frock coat and it was auctioned off for $610,000.
Software developer and self-described robot artist Jeremy Kraybill says there’s no doubt AI will shape up the art scene—the only question is how much. “We’re going to see a lot more integration of these technologies in artistic expressions.”
