“I can do that too!” Says the AI by Tobias Gutmann

Did an artificial intelligence actually just create a portrait of me? Sai Bot is the brainchild of Swiss artist Tobias Gutmann, who, in a poetic gesture, has taught an artificial intelligence to draw. The AI is fed with thousands of portrait drawings that Tobias Gutmann has created around the world since 2012 with his Face-o-mat project. From this data set, Sai Bot learns the formal language and repertoire of the portraits and can create its own new combinations from them.
