The First AI-Generated Art Was Created in 2015 - Apparently.
In 2015, an artificial intelligence system named "The Next Rembrandt" created a 3D-printed portrait that resembled the style of the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. The AI was trained on a dataset of Rembrandt's works and used a generative model to create the artwork. The resulting portrait was unveiled at a conference in Amsterdam and was hailed as a milestone in the development of AI-generated art. The AI-generated portrait was later sold at an auction for an undisclosed price.
