Artificial Creativity: Emergent Notions of Creativity in Artificial Societies of Curious Agents

چکیده
What is creativity? Generally, artefacts are labelled as creative if they are both novel and appropriate; individuals are regarded as creative if they produce creative works [1]. More specific definitions of creativity vary greatly in the details of what makes someone or something creative. Some definitions require that creative products must be the result of some creative mental processes, effectively ruling out the possibility of computationally modelling creativity until these processes are understood. Many computational models of creativity have been developed to gain this understanding by simulating mental processes thought to play an important role in creative thinking, e.g. Simon [2], Hofstadter et al. [3]. Other researchers consider the details of an individual’s creative process to be less important and consider the socio-cultural environment to have a significant effect on the production of creative works. Csikszentmihalyi [4] proposed that the processes essential to creativity are not only to be found in the minds of creators but also in the interactions between individuals and their socio-cultural environment. Csikszentmihalyi’s systems view of creativity is illustrated in Figure 1.

Artificial Creativity: a Synthetic Approach to the Study of Creative Behaviour
We present a novel approach to the computational study of creativity, called artificial creativity. Artificial creativity promotes the study of the creative behaviour of individuals and societies in artificial societies of agents. It is similar to the approach to that taken by Artificial Life researchers involved in developing computational models. We present a framework for developing artifici...

Curious Whispers: An Embodied Artificial Creative System
Creativity, whether or not it is computational, doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is a situated, embodied activity that is connected with cultural, social, personal and physical contexts. Artificial creative systems are computational models that attempt to capture personal, social and cultural aspects of human creativity. The physical embodiment of artificial creative systems presents significant c...
