Artificial intelligence supports human creativity

Artificial intelligence can lead us to new insights and accelerate the pace of innovation. The smarter AI becomes, the more helpful and successful it becomes – but this can inhibit human creativity. Using AI to free up time for creative activities requires a conscious effort.

A new Artikel im «Nature»-Magazin has shown that it is increasingly unlikely for new ideas to break with the past in a way that takes science and technology in a new direction. So we are becoming less and less innovative. Overall, the findings suggest that the slowdown in disruption may reflect a fundamental change in the nature of science and technology. Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years. However, today 18 mal so viele ForscherInnen to double the chip density.

How could we boost innovation again? GDI senior researcher Jan Bieser has been looking into the possibility of using artificial intelligence to boost human creativity and accelerate innovation. An article published at​ WEF erschienen Artikel summarises the findings. "Among the many ways AI can boost human creativity is, first and foremost, by relieving us of monotonous tasks like searching for information and leaving us more time for stimulating activities that can lead to new ideas," Bieser is quoted as saying in Forbes magazine.

The free GDI study «Creative through AI: How artificial intelligence can support the development of new ideas» , written by Jan Bieser, provides an inspiring overview of how people and organisations can already use AI to support creative processes. The surprising conclusion: human creativity must be complemented by AI and at the same time protected from it. In the future, the most successful ideas will probably come not only from clever minds, but also from those who can steer machines in the desired direction.
