A philosopher, an artist, and a HCI researcher write a dissertation: Designing Ethical Human-AI Systems for Co-Creativity

For more than a decade now, artists' immersion in garnering expression via AI has largely been left to emerge after the fact, where the incorporation of their values into the system is a burgeoning exploration of the latter years.Accordingly, in this dissertation, I ask how we can design harmonious AI systems for creative expression that optimize the balance between artists and AI systems while pushing the boundary and generating creative possibilities for the co-creative process.I take a four-part research approach, beginning by promoting the responsible design of creative AI, then studying the creative possibilities of AI in creative practice, followed by proposing novel interaction mechanisms and concluding with a design philosophy that centers the artist in the Human-AI co-creative process.
