Abstract

AI-driven tools are increasingly used to augment human creativity, leading to new possibilities in arts and design. Researchers are actively seeking new ways to expand AI-driven creativity tools and exploring methods that combine AI with existing tools to empower creative processes, including empowerment in entertainment, health, education, and accessibility. This paper aims to investigate how AI transcends human limitations to inspire creativity and to uncover innovative approaches for leveraging AI to enhance creative processes while addressing potential risks. We anticipate stimulating discussions and collaborations on AI-driven creativity among researchers, practitioners, designers, artists, and industry professionals, with a specific focus on empowerment across various domains.
