An artwork created by an artificially intelligent program has been sold at auction for $432,000 (\u00a3337,000).<\/a><\/p>\n

The final price is far higher than the $7,000-$10,000 estimate put on it by Christie’s in New York before the sale.<\/p>\n

The painting, called Portrait of Edmond Belamy, was created by a Paris-based art collective called Obvious.<\/p>\n

The artwork was produced using an algorithm and a data set of 15,000 portraits painted between the 14th and 20th Centuries.<\/p>\n

To generate the image, the algorithm compared its own work to those in the data set until it could not tell them apart.<\/p>\n

The portrait is the first piece of AI art to go under the hammer at a major auction house. The sale attracted a significant amount of media attention.<\/p>\n

“AI is just one of several technologies that will have an impact on the art market of the future – although it is far too early to predict what those changes might be,” said Christie’s specialist Richard Lloyd, who organised the sale.<\/p>\n
