Introduction

VEAR, CRAIG; Poltronieri, Fabrizio

Abstract

Simply put creative AI is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in creative activities. This definition encompasses a broad range of pursuits, approaches, and perspectives, but for us the overall goal seems to be to enhance human creativity. For example, creative AI can encompass artistic practices that use AI to suggest or collaborate with the human in the shared making of an artwork; or installations that use AI to connect viewers movements to generative sound and abstract image; or music creation that uses a neural network modelled on the work of a composer such as Mozart; or a dancing robot that improvisers in real-time by itself or with another partner. The list goes on as each artist or creative technologist finds new ways of expressing themselves through, or exploring the creative potential in, the application of creative AI. But a core tenet endures:

it is creative and intelligent within its context.
