Paper short abstract

The ongoing study critically overviews AI-generated artworks, specifically focusing on creatives from BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and PWD communities. It argues that future visions of human-machine creative symbiosis should promote inclusion, equality and diversity, to overcome our anxieties and cultural biases.

Paper long abstract

The first computer programmer in the history of humanity was Ada Lovelace. In one of her famous writings, she envisioned: “Numerous fundamental relations of music can be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, such that a machine could compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent” (Hollings et al., 2018; see also Barbican, 2019). It can be argued that a creative and non-conventional environment, where she was raised and educated, allowed her to develop a vision for human-machine creative symbiosis, which is still flourishing nowadays with machine learning and AI. This paper critically overviews creative processes from AI-generated domains, specifically focusing on creatives from BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and PWD communities. Drawing from different AI-generated domains, such as music, art, and poetry, this study highlights the role of BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and PWD communities in human-machine co-creativity, particularly in the last decades. Will we be able to overcome our anxieties and cultural biases to embrace a new age of creative symbiosis? How can AI help us to better understand each other, highlighting the importance of BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and PWD communities in the creation of our common cultural artifacts? Can we develop creativity as a common language across different communities and scientific disciplines, to envision a future of inclusion, equality, and diversity between humans and machines? This study argues that visions of the future of human-machine creative symbiosis should promote inclusion, equality, and diversity, to solve the societal crisis facing humanity in the 21st century.
