His self-portrait drawn by artificial intelligence (AI) was unveiled for the first time.

Global insurer Hiscox introduced the first 'AI Self-Portrait' through its first published Art and AI Report.

Heathcox explained that the study was conducted to investigate the impact of AI-generated art on human artists.




First of all, Heathcox collaborated with 40 famous artists to input photos of their faces.

Since then, AI has transformed a painting made by mixing 40 face photographs and completed the work.

The AI self-portrait released is a middle-aged man with clear eyes, a chubby nose, and thick lips and is painted with oil painting.




This AI self-portrait is an experiment for the joint growth of artists and artificial intelligence.

Robert Reed, Head of Art and Personal Customer at Heathcox, said, `The use of AI in art is a new frontier in the art market, bringing both risks and opportunities"Using cutting-edge technology can be a creative enabler, but according to our research, rewards for artists are a problem to grapple with."

He also added that "It should be ethical, transparent and fair for AI to learn to make art by studying and absorbing human art."




According to a real survey, 77% of art collectors and 78% of art lovers said artists should be fairly compensated for their work being used in AI models.
