Trader consensus heavily favors "No" at 94.8% for an AI-generated artwork reaching $10 million at a major 2026 auction because verified results remain far below that threshold. The record stands at roughly $1.08 million for Ai-Da robot’s “AI God” portrait at Sotheby’s in late 2024, while Christie’s 2025 Augmented Intelligence sale topped out at $277,200 for a Refik Anadol data painting amid questions over authorship, training data, and human oversight. Dedicated AI lots continue to attract younger collectors yet reflect limited broad demand compared with traditional masters. With only weeks left and no announced high-value lots or capability leaps likely to trigger a sudden bidding surge at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, or Phillips, a breakthrough would require an unexpected shift in collector perception of generative AI outputs.
