Abstract
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained increasing popularity in the area of art creation, by
demonstrating its great potential. Research in this topic has developed AI systems able to generate creative
outputs in fields such as music, painting, games, design and scientific discovery, either autonomously
or in collaboration with humans. Therefore, AI also helped to analyze and study the mechanisms
of creativity from a broader perspective: from the socio-anthropological to psychological, as well as
cognitive impact of the autonomous creative processes of artificial intelligence. These advances are
leading to new opportunities research perspectives, while also posing challenging questions related
to authorship, integrity, bias and evaluation of AI artistic outputs. CREAI, the workshop on AI and
creativity, tries to address these research lines and aims to provide a forum for the AI community to
discuss problems, challenges and innovative approaches in the various sub-fields of AI and creativity.
1. Background and Motivations
Artificial Intelligence has become widespread in a large array of different domains: in the area of
art creation, AI has gained increasing popularity by demonstrating its great potential. Recently,
AI showed a certain degree of creativity in painting, composition, writing and design, but it also
helped to analyze and study the mechanisms of creativity from a broader perspective to better
understand the impact of the autonomous creative processes of artificial intelligence. These
advances are leading to new opportunities research perspectives, while also posing challenging
questions related to aspects such as authorship, integrity, bias and evaluation of AI artistic
outputs.
This workshop aims to collect and bridge the gap between different technologies and most
recent advances in the area of creative AI in terms of the enabling creation, analysis and
understanding technologies. CREAI aims to analyze the relationships between AI and artistic
creativity from a broad perspective.
Topics of interests include but are not limited to:

2. Accepted Papers
The program provides a good overview among the different topics related to the area of AI and
creativity. Moreover, the program will be further enriched through a keynote given by François
Pachet, the Director of the Spotify Creator Technology Research Lab. The title of the keynote
will be ”AI-Assisted Music Creation: is the problem solved?”.
The accepted papers range from the evaluation and implementation of methodologies of
AI artistic outputs, to cultural, social and educational impacts of AI on creativity, and also to
ethical issues raised by creative AI systems.
