Abstract

“Creative autonomy” is a prominent concept in historic and present discourses on creativity in humans, AI and their interaction. It is key to addressing some of the most pressing questions of our times and can serve as a boundary object to develop shared problem definitions and fostering cross-disciplinary research across AI, HCI, ethics and social science research, amongst others. Crucially though, it is presently unclear how robust creative autonomy – as used across contexts, disciplines and communities – is in its meaning, and how it relates to neighbouring concepts as well as autonomy more generally. This short paper presents the protocol for the first holistic and systematic scoping review of creative autonomy, seeking to fill this gap.
