“Artificial Intelligence & Creativity: Psychological and Social Implications for Creators and The Public” aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the transformative impact of AI on creativity from the perspectives of both creators and the public. This edited volume will focus on the complex interactions between humans and AI within creative fields, offering critical reflections and diverse viewpoints on how AI systems are reshaping the creative landscape.

The book is structured into two primary sections, each focusing on a different stakeholder in the AI creativity ecosystem: creators and the public. The first section will explore the implications of AI-assisted creativity for human creators. Chapters will examine how AI tools influence the creative process, enhance or inhibit artistic expression, and challenge traditional notions of authorship and originality. Contributors will discuss the psychological impact on creators, including potential changes in creative confidence, motivation, and identity. Social implications, such as the shifting dynamics in creative industries and the collaboration between human and machine, may also be discussed.

The second section will focus on the public (e.g. consumers, audiences, and the general public) of AI-generated or AI-co-created outputs. Chapters will discuss how AI impacts the reception and interpretation of creative works, including changes in aesthetic appreciation and the cultural value assigned to AI-generated products. Psychological perspectives might explore, for example, how consumers perceive and emotionally respond to AI creativity, as well as the potential effects on human empathy and connection. Social implications, including the authenticity of AI-generated works, democratization of art and the potential for AI to bridge or widen cultural divides, may also be addressed.

By examining both creators and the public, the book aims to provide a holistic overview of the psychological, philosophical, and social implications of AI in the creative domain. Contributions may range from theoretical analyses and empirical studies to case studies, ensuring a diverse debate on the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
