The Meaning of Creativity in the Age of AI

This publication is the result of a symposium Decoding New Technologies in Art and Design, which took place on the 10th September 2020 at the Estonian Academy of Arts in situ and also virtually as part of the Ars Electronica Gardens online program. The main idea of the symposium and this publication is to develop an understanding and map the points of critical interest with regards to artificial intelligence (AI) and novel technological developments in general. We aim to decode the changes, new ideas, trends, and methodologies that this technology introduces into art and design. In addition, this publication presents new concepts, ideas, and dangers brought about by this developing technology, both now and in the future.
