This special issue entitled Artificial Creativity aims to foment discussion around the cultural, societal, and ethical aspects of robots or AI engaged in creative production. On the one hand, one can ask: what are the possibilities and potential pitfalls of AI technologies in the cultural sector? For example, AI makes its recommendations and choices based on its exposure to large databases, and yet Lev Manovich warned about the “increasing automation of the aesthetic realm”, which might, over time, reduce cultural diversity (Manovich 85). On the other hand, AI technologies encourage debate about the meaning of creativity. Some authors suggest revisiting the concept of creativity, which can be contemplated as a uniquely human faculty (Gunkel 1). Others conceptualise it as a process in which both humans and nonhumans are involved. In this issue, we showcase a variety of perspectives around this debate. The aim is not to resolve such a complicated puzzle. Instead, we map a tapestry of approaches that mark the state of the art of a dynamic, emerging research area.
