Artificial Intelligence Assisted Creation Fostering Inspiration & Raising Moral Issues

Abstract

The promise of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular its latest developments in deep learning, has been influencing all kinds of disciplines such as engineering, business, agriculture, and humanities. More recently it also includes disciplines that were exclusively reserved for humans such as art and design. While there is a strong debate going on if creativity is profoundly human, we investigate if creativity can be fostered by AI. To get a better understanding of the creative potential offered by AI we open the black box and investigate where and how the magic is happening. Besides the potentials of AI, we also point out and discuss ethical and social implications caused by the latest developments in AI with respect to the creative sector.
