(THE STREET) – A hand-painted "self-portrait" by the world-famous humanoid robot, Sophia, has sold at auction as a non-fungible token, or NFT, for more than $688,000.
Titled "Sophia Instantiation," the digital work is a 12-second MP4 file showing the evolution of artist Andrea Bonaceto's portrait into Sophia's digital painting, and is accompanied by a physical artwork.
Bonaceto is an artist and partner at blockchain investment firm Eterna Capital. The work shows Sophia "interpreting" a depiction of her own face, which was processed by the robot's neural networks, and then painting an interpretation of the image.
