- Authors: Philippe Esling, Ninon Devis
- Abstract summary: We aim to provide a new perspective on the question of creativity at the era of AI, by blurring the frontier between social and computational sciences.
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.

- Abstract: Creativity is a deeply debated topic, as this concept is arguably
quintessential to our humanity. Across different epochs, it has been infused
with an extensive variety of meanings relevant to that era. Along these, the
evolution of technology have provided a plurality of novel tools for creative
purposes. Recently, the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), through deep
learning approaches, have seen proficient successes across various
applications. The use of such technologies for creativity appear in a natural
continuity to the artistic trend of this century. However, the aura of a
technological artefact labeled as intelligent has unleashed passionate and
somewhat unhinged debates on its implication for creative endeavors. In this
paper, we aim to provide a new perspective on the question of creativity at the
era of AI, by blurring the frontier between social and computational sciences.
To do so, we rely on reflections from social science studies of creativity to
view how current AI would be considered through this lens. As creativity is a
highly context-prone concept, we underline the limits and deficiencies of
current AI, requiring to move towards artificial creativity. 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,
putting us at risk of not harnessing the almost unlimited possibilities offered
by the sheer computational power of artificial agents.

We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right.
In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations.
We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.

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.
