The Future of AI & Human Creativity

Human creativity has never been more challenged: Through the advent of AI-based storytelling and creative tools, new forms of computational creativity emerge (Lee 2022, Boden 1998), which give rise to rapid advances across animation, storytelling, and computer graphics. Storyboards can now be created within seconds through AI-based platforms, animations are prompted into existence, and image inputs allow for digital doubles to take the lead in feature films. However, risks persist across authorship, accreditation, royalties, but also authenticity, individual human expression and handcrafted digital artistry. Following brief presentations, this workshop invites participants to brainstorm their own responses to a rapidly evolving field. As a global forum for research excellence in computer graphics, ACM SIGGRAPH's Frontiers workshop brings together experts from diverse fields, providing a unique opportunity for public discourse around the ethics, challenges and new realities the future of creativity entails.
