The Spectrum of Unpredictability and its Relation to Creative Autonomy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Recent popularity of generative AI tools has sparked discussion on how the unpredictability of the tools affects the creativity of the human and the AI program alike, as unpredictability prevents the human user from fully controlling the output. We present a framework for categorizing unpredictability on four different dimensions and analyze the types of unpredictability found in generative AI tools. We also describe the relationship between unpredictability, uncontrollability, and Jennings' creative autonomy. We conclude that while unpredictability does not on its own imply creative autonomy, it could be used as a central condition for it, if accompanied by other conditions.
