Collaboration can increase creativity when the interactions are supportive and facilitative. In the real world this could be a group discussion or a collaboration on a particular artwork or project. The computer is increasingly in the loop on these collaborations because it can bring together both local and distant collaborators. In addition, the artwork or project can be displayed on computer screens and the partners can discuss it and work together in real-time. The computer program may also be able to make suggestions to the partners about design options, just as spell-checkers can make suggestions to authors about the grammar and spelling in an article or paper they are writing. The software works in the background and can add value to the overall process of creation, whether this is for a document or an artwork. In this case, the software is working according to pre-determined rules. If the program is allowed to modify itself by taking in input from its own processes, then the rules may change as the program is running. This may be useful in some situations but not in others. The increasing use of artificial intelligence techniques in science, technology, and the arts is reviewed and assessed, and the implications for creativity are presented. |
