Alethea AI and artist Robert Alice launch Sotheby’s auction of the ‘first intelligent NFT’

Alethea AI has teamed up with artist Robert Alice to bring a virtual being to life. And they’re auctioning it at Sotheby’s as the “first intelligent nonfungible token” (NFT).

The move is groundbreaking, as Alethea AI has created a virtual being named Alice using AI technology. She can have rich conversations with people, based on the personality that Robert Alice made. And they used NFT technology, which is based on the transparent and secure blockchain digital ledger, to ensure that she is a one-of-a-kind creation.
