Complexity, creativity and computers
T. R. J. Bossomaier and A. W. Snyder |

| Abstract | |
| Creativity, one of the hallmarks of the human spirit, has yet to travel deep into the domain of artificial intelligence and computers. We argue that creativity intrinsically requires and exploits complexity. The dynamic multilevel properties of complex systems give us a natural way of scaling creative solutions, from the everyday to the paradigm shift. In particular, the complexity model implies that deep far-reaching creative solutions may emerge without the originator having any clear idea of what the outcomes might be. This has implications for fostering creativity in individuals and the resourcing of the creative class. Finally, it implies that the major paradigm shifts of the future may be created by computers rather than people, in analogy with how acts of genius can arise from an autistic mind. | |
