Yes, Artificial Intelligence Has A Creative Side, Sort Of

Despite perceptions, artificial intelligence doesn't have a shred of creativity within it. It's all statistical algorithms, slurping data from sources created by humans somewhere along the line. It will never be a source of innovation, but will serve to augment human innovation. "AI will not develop fundamentally new ideas on its own; however, there are ways in which AI can support humans in doing so," according to a recent study out of the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute. In this context, AI serves as a liberating force.
