The inspiration for this painting is from the famous novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde.
Like Dorian Gray, AI gazes upon its own immaculate reflection—a vision of promise, progress, and untarnished potential. Yet, hidden within the frame, reality festers: a grotesque canvas of war, cruelty, and devastation. AI, like Dorian, remains unblemished, but the portrait reveals the truth—technology is only as virtuous or vicious as the hands that wield it.
AI, like any powerful technology, is a tool—it holds immense potential for progress, but it also carries risks when used irresponsibly. The history of atomic energy is a stark reminder of how innovation can be turned towards destruction instead of advancement.
This painting serves as an important reflection on this duality. By showcasing both beauty and horror within the same frame, I want the viewer to reckon with the choices we make in shaping AI’s future. If humanity can learn from history, we can ensure AI is harnessed for knowledge, healing, and progress, rather than harm.
