Computational creativity (also known as artificial creativity, mechanical creativity or creative computation) is a multidisciplinary endeavour that is located at the intersection of the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and the arts.

The goal of computational creativity is to model, simulate or replicate creativity using a computer, to achieve one of several ends:

  • to construct a program or computer capable of human-level creativity
  • to better understand human creativity and to formulate an algorithmic perspective on creative behavior in humans
  • to design programs that can enhance human creativity without necessarily being creative themselves

The field of computational creativity concerns itself with theoretical and practical issues in the study of creativity. Theoretical work on the nature and proper definition of creativity is performed in parallel with practical work on the implementation of systems that exhibit creativity, with one strand of work informing the other.

can 'creativity' be computed? if yes, should it be computed?
Q. Design is an ill understood process that relies on creativity and intuition, as well as the judicial applications of scientific principles, technical information, and experience and for the purpose of developing an artifact or an environment that will behave in a prescribed manner. Computable processes on the other hand, are, by definition, well understood and subject to precise analysis. They are amenable to mathematical modeling, and can be stimulated by artificial computing techniques. Can the process of design be described precisely enough to allow its computation?

A. I think we cannot know how the future will be. Think that in 19th century nobody can imagine changes as computer, airplanes, fast cars, medicine (as it is today), long distance education e.t.c.If you count how big is the difference between 19th cent, and today, you can find how big will be the next "step of humanity "
