Creativity and Artificial Intelligence

AI techniques can generate new ideas in three ways: 1) by producing novel combinations of familiar ideas, 2) by exploring potential in conceptual spaces, and 3) by making transformations that enable previously impossible ideas. While AI can model how new ideas are generated, it will have more difficulty automatically evaluating them.

Abstract

Creativity is a fundamental feature of human intelligence, and a challenge for AI. AI


techniques can be used to create new ideas in three ways: by producing novel
combinations of familiar ideas; by exploring the potential of conceptual spaces; and
by making transformations that enable the generation of previously impossible ideas.
AI will have less difficulty in modelling the generation of new ideas than in
automating their evaluation.
