Harold Cohen is a computer scientist who has completed his professional career in the development of artificial intelligence. His most striking work has been the Aaron program he paints. Cohen has "educated" the program by providing a lot of information. Aaron is aware of how people look and move and has received information about composition and painting technique. As a result, the programme has the capacity to draw up tables designed by itself.

Some of these paintings have also been presented in galleries. However, Cohen is concerned that Creativity has no rules. In fact, in humans creativity cannot be defined by standards, making programming difficult. But Cohen is satisfied with the result. When asked if the author of the paintings is Aaron or Cohen, he says that the paintings are not an end, that the work is a program.
