Abstract: Computational creativity is a rapidly advancing subfield of artificial intelligence.Artificial systems endowed with innovative potential can be broadly categorized into two types:autonomous systems that exhibit independent creativity,and synthetic computational creativity systems,which require human expertise or the collaboration of multiple systems.These include creativity support tools,co-creativity,creativity peers,group creativity,and computational social creativity.These diverse and functional forms of creativity not only underscore the promising future of the computational creativity field but also offer valuable insights into rethinking the nature of creativity.To further advance this domain,it is crucial to:conceptualize and define the boundaries of computational creativity,thereby establishing a solid theoretical foundation for its development;recognize the mutually beneficial relationship between computational creativity and the philosophy of creativity,enabling philosophical frameworks to address fundamental theoretical challenges;and understand that the creation of creativity is fundamentally a process of “realization”.
