Humans as Creativity Gatekeepers: Are We Biased Against AI Creativity?

Abstract

With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly involved in the creation of organizational and commercial artifacts, human evaluators’ role as creativity gatekeepers of AI-produced artifacts will become critical for innovation processes. However, when humans evaluate creativity, their judgment is clouded by biases triggered by the characteristics of the creator. Drawing from folk psychology and algorithm aversion research, we examine whether the identity of the producer of a given artifact as artificial intelligence (AI) or human is a source of bias affecting people’s creativity evaluation of such artifact and what drives this effect. With four experimental studies (N = 2039), of which two were pre-registered, using different experimental designs and evaluation targets, we found that people sometimes—but not always—ascribe lower creativity to a product when they are told that the producer is an AI rather than a human. In addition, we found that people consistently perceive generative AI to exert less effort than humans in the creation of a given artifact, which drives the lower creativity ratings ascribed to generative AI producers. We discuss the implication of these findings for organizational creativity and innovation in the context of human-AI interaction.

LAVE: LLM-Powered Agent Assistance and Language Augmentation for Video Editing

“…CodeToon [65] automatically converts code into comics. However, while AI holds significant promise for enhancing a user's creative abilities by managing certain aspects of the creative workflow, it also brings forward challenges and concerns such as user agency and trusts [30], the authenticity of the creation [50], potential creative biases [46,49], and ownership and credit attribution [10,21]. Our work builds upon existing literature in human-AI co-creation [8,14,21,24,30,32,40,55,57,73] and further contributes by developing a new AI system for video editing and studying its impact.…”

Engineering design and the impact of digital technology from computer-aided engineering to industrial metaverses: A perspective

“…It is probable that artificial intelligence will be integrated into industrial metaverses in the future and provide suggestions to designers based on existing designs and their performance, which will further accelerate development processes. There is some debate about the level of creativity achievable by artificial intelligence 11,12 ; however, at a minimum it is capable of aiding creativity by suggesting alternative options. The core role of the design team will likely remain the responsibility of humans and will require multifunctional teams of creative specialists to manage the complexity of integrating many sub-systems combined with consideration of their behaviour and performance during an entire lifecycle within a circular economy.…”
