A humanoid robot is slated to become first of its kind to have its artwork sold by a major auction house. On October 16, Sotheby's announced it will soon begin accepting bids starting at 120,000 for "AI God." The abstract portrait of Alan Turing was painted by Ai-Da, an ongoing, experimental AI-powered robotics project that cites a pivotal 1980's transhumanist feminist manifesto as its inspiration. The auction is scheduled to run from October 31st through November 7th. Completed in 2019 by gallerist Aidan Meller in collaboration with Oxford University researchers and the robotics company, Engineered Arts, Ai-Da uses cameras to capture visual inputs that onboard graphics algorithms then use to formulate generative images with some human guidance and adjustments.

Following the great advances and global interest in the field of Computer Science, Computing and Artificial Intelligence, this section aims to collect relevant scientific contributions in the broad field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with specific focus on Computing and Artificial Intelligence. The focus of papers published in this section will be on applied research within these topics, but theoretical works are also welcome, if related to possible applications. More specifically, papers dealing with the acquisition, processing, storage and transmission of information are within the scope of this section. This section aims to provide a forum for research from both academia and industry, and will be the perfect journal to disseminate your results to a global community of researchers.

The MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing (SCC) will reorient the Institute to bring the power of computing and artificial intelligence to all fields at MIT, and to allow the future of computing and AI to be shaped by all MIT disciplines. To support ongoing planning for the new college, Dean Melissa Nobles invited faculty from all 14 of MIT's humanistic disciplines in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences to respond to two questions: As Nobles says in her foreword to the series, "Together, the following responses to these two questions offer something of a guidebook to the myriad, productive ways that technical, humanistic, and scientific fields can join forces at MIT, and elsewhere, to further human and planetary well-being." The following excerpts highlight faculty responses, with links to full commentaries. The excerpts are sequenced by fields in the following order: the humanities, arts, and social sciences. "The advent of artificial intelligence presents our species with an historic opportunity -- disguised as an existential challenge: Can we stay human in the age of AI? In fact, can we grow in humanity, can we shape a more humane, more just, and sustainable world? With a sense of promise and urgency, we are embarked at MIT on an accelerated effort to more fully integrate the technical and humanistic forms of discovery in our curriculum and research, and in our habits of mind and action."

With a box of popcorn in one hand, Hal Abelson, a renowned computer scientist, strolled through the first floor of the Ray and Maria Stata Center studying the machine learning exhibits that surrounded him on the afternoon of Feb. 26. Everywhere he looked he saw evidence of the remarkable things MIT students can do when given access to computing resources. "Computing tools and infrastructure have gotten to a place where students can outperform professional researchers. You are constrained mostly by your imagination. It's just an amazing time," said Abelson, the Class of 1922 Professor of Computer Science and Engineering.
