Humans wanting to play God: The machine artist Botto produces 7,000 works a week, challenging traditional notions of authorship, creativity, and agency. But it doesn’t work alone—its evolution and output are guided by a global community that votes on which final pieces are worthy of becoming art. Simon Hudson, who oversees the strategic direction of the project, explains how Botto is a microcosm of the global debate on AI governance.
