I would vote against any kind of chess metaphor—when I think of chess-based AI I think of faster CPU power giving faster searches of possible solutions, rather than the impression of “true” intelligence (avoiding the definition of what that actually is for now).
Only idea I had was the image you see a lot of developing humans—like the chain of apes to humans, but with the robot at the end. That could be played straight with the robot facing right with the implication of replacing the previous generations, or played more sinisterly with the robot turned back to look at the last human with a menacing or indifferent expression. Alternatively, have several robot generations getting more unrecognisable but include a timeline linked to the previous generations to show the speed new generations are developing. But it’s maybe been overused for humour at this point.
