Robot paints its own moonscapes in traditional Chinese style
LONDON — A Hong Kong artist has created an artificial intelligence (AI) robot which creates its own paintings.Victor Wong took three years to build and program the robot called A.I Gemini and teach it artistic techniques.Randomness has been written into its algorithm, meaning Wong does not know what it will paint before it begins.The project is called 'Far Side of the Moon'.
