With the rapid advancement of generative models and autonomous agents, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between statistical imitation and actual creativity. This interdisciplinary one-day symposium goes beyond established narratives surrounding artificial intelligence and explores the structural and cognitive parallels between biological and artificial forms of creation. By bringing together leading researchers from the fields of machine learning and cognitive science, the symposium aims to create a space for in-depth analysis and interdisciplinary exchange, enabling new insights into how AI systems explore large search spaces for novelty and functional utility, and into the creative potential already inherent in current systems.
Building on the 2024 conference Bridging Fields in Creativity in Oppenheim, which focused on the neural mechanisms underlying creative processes, this symposium shifts attention to the computational architectures that simulate, augment, or potentially redefine creativity as a core capability of intelligent systems.
