The Role of AI on Idea Generation

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in innovation workshops to<br/>enhance creativity is controversially discussed in the literature. The perspectives<br/>range from AI having a supportive effect on creativity to one that hinders or<br/>restricts it. This research-in-progress paper presents a research design that<br/>investigates the role of AI from the perspective of participants in innovation<br/>workshops. To capture the dynamics of the workshop as comprehensively as<br/>possible, field notes were taken by an observer, audio recordings were made, and<br/>semi-structured interviews were conducted with a narrative introductory<br/>question. The aim was to gain a deeper understanding of how participants<br/>experience the integration of AI into creative processes and what impact this had<br/>on the generation of ideas.
