Abstract :

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been quickly popularized within the past few years, leading to a conversation on whether or not AI are creative. Human creativity is multifaceted, with many theories focusing on specific aspects of creativity with the measurement evaluating the originality and usefulness of ideas. AI generates its output by imitating and learning from data that it is given, which leads to problems within the product. Yet, AI does perform well at select creativity tests. We discuss various creativity theories and tests within humans and AI, and find that AI’s lack of key factors, such as intentionality, differentiates it from human creativity. We argue that AI doesn’t exhibit true creativity and instead only emulates it.
