When I created this project, my goal was to appeal to a potential audience in the future who might rely on AI to fight in futuristic conflicts. Although it may have seemed far-fetched at the time, people were already developing AI-powered war machines. To bring my vision to life, I used Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop to construct a scratchboard illustration of a robot and curated articles related to this topic. The end result was designed to resemble an article from a futuristic version of The New York Times.​​​​​​​ 

The illustration is humorously called "Robut" due to a typo in its original file name. It features a miniature robot in classic style, holding a drooping flower, which is a reference to the movie Wall-E. In the film, an AI robot saves humanity by bringing a plant back to their spaceship. The flower in this illustration is a symbol of peace, with a tiny heart above it to convey goodwill. The robot's chest bears the question, "Can Robots Love?" which is the article's main focus. It aims to draw attention to the use of AI soldiers and highlight the possibility that they may not be able to differentiate between friend and foe. It was created from scratch boards and ink, with red and orange ink to add pops of colour on key focus areas.
