In this dissertation which was written as part of the MSc in Art Law and Arts Management at the International Hellenic University, I am going to discuss how robots from fiction stories became reality and the uncanny feeling they invoke to people. Furthermore, I am going to refer to Ai - Da, the first humanoid robot ar,st has ever existed and the impact that robots will have for human artist. As artificial intelligence might be a new medium, we have to consider that mediums bring the potential for good and evil, just like Marshall McLuhan had claimed. In addition, I am going to discuss the gender dynamic behind Ai-Da and other feminine bots, like Sophia the Robot and Sex Bots. In the art industry where women ar,sts are s,ll less than men, in prime ins,tu,ons universally, could female humanoids harm the development of female artists? A vast change is coming into our world. With the impact of recent technologies coming through at an unparalleled rate, these altera,ons are similar to an extent to the industrial revolution or the printing press. My aim in this dissertation would be to encourage readers to think about the ethics and how new technologies can be used. (en)
