Special issue of AI & Society

“The Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Human Creativity”

The rapid rise of generative AI technologies in applications of human creative practice – including visual art, illustration, cinema, writing, performance and music – has raised both opportunities and questions regarding the future of human and machine creativity, and more broadly around human culture. These issues span the conceptual (e.g. what roles will AI technologies fulfill in future creative practices?), ethical (e.g. issues of “style theft”), legal (e.g. questions of authorship and copyright) and creative (e.g. does AI have its own aesthetic?).

Researchers from SensiLab’s Creative AI team will be guest editing a special issue of the journal “AI & Society” on The Impact of Generative AI on Human Creativity.  The special issue will expand critical scholarly research by examining both the current and future impacts of Generative AI technologies on human creative practice, creativity, and culture. The aim of this Special Issue is to curate and present state-of-the-art work across a variety of relevant disciplines. We welcome contributors from researchers, theorists, practitioners and artists.
