Harold Cohen (1 May 1928 – 27 April 2016)[1] was a British-born artist who was noted as the creator of AARON,[2] a computer program designed to produce paintings and drawings autonomously, which set it apart from previous programs.[3] His work in the intersection of computer artificial intelligence and painting lead to exhibitions at many museums, including the Tate Gallery in London.[4]
