Could AI help us create imagination machines? - Raconteur

Human creativity is the elixir that's powered civilisations down the ages. It's brought us untold breakthroughs in all sectors of the economy, from agriculture to healthcare, energy to mobility. Our imagination continues to be our saviour as the world's ageing population faces tough socioeconomic and environmental challenges. Imagination entails creating mental models of things that don't yet exist. This kind of innovation brought us the printing press, the steam engine, the light bulb, the telephone, the aeroplane, the TV and the PC.
