Claude Monet， Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci …the art world has never lacked talent． And now， a new painter is ready to join the list， although this one isn't even human．
Next month， auction house(拍卖行) Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence for sale． The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy， and is expected to be sold for up to ﹩10，000 (69，000 yuan)．
The work， which features a man with a mysterious look on his face， was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious． Laugero-Lasserre， an art collector from France， called the work "ridiculous and amazing at the same time"． This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork， as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs． However， many people doubt whether it should be called art at all．
According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy， art is about creating emotion． It's "a means of …joining people together in the same feelings"， he once said．
So， if the emotion behind art is what makes the art， the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species． And as a tool itself， the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers． Together， they "fed" the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries， until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own．
The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement． However， not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet．
