- Title: The societal and ethical relevance of computational creativity
- Authors: Michele Loi, Eleonora Vigan\`o, Lonneke van der Plas
- Abstract summary: We characterize creativity in very broad philosophical terms, encompassing natural, existential, and social creative processes.
We explain why creativity is instrumental for advancing human well-being in the long term.
There is an argument for ethics to be more hospitable to creativity-enabling AI.

- Abstract: In this paper, we provide a philosophical account of the value of creative
systems for individuals and society. We characterize creativity in very broad
philosophical terms, encompassing natural, existential, and social creative
processes, such as natural evolution and entrepreneurship, and explain why
creativity understood in this way is instrumental for advancing human
well-being in the long term. We then explain why current mainstream AI tends to
be anti-creative, which means that there are moral costs of employing this type
of AI in human endeavors, although computational systems that involve
creativity are on the rise. In conclusion, there is an argument for ethics to
be more hospitable to creativity-enabling AI, which can also be in a trade-off
with other values promoted in AI ethics, such as its explainability and
accuracy.

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society.
A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests.
This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.

We argue that the objective of trying to purely mimic human creative traits towards a self-contained ex-nihilo generative machine would be highly counterproductive.
