Extending human creativity with AI

Abstract

The development of generative AI has led to novel ways that technology can be integrated into creative activities. However, this has also raised concerns about how human creators will be affected, and what impact it may have on creative industries. As a result, there has been research into how we can design AI tools that work with human creators, rather than replacing them. In this paper we review approaches utilized to build AI tools that facilitate human creativity and allow users to engage fully and authentically in the creative process. These include leveraging AI models to help us shed light on elements of the creative process, building interfaces that encourage exploration of ideas, and designing technological affordances that can support the development of new creative practices.
