Contemporary AI tools generate works and accomplish tasks in ways that, to many, suggest genuine creativity. In this talk, Peter Langland-Hassan, professor of philosophy at the University of Cincinnati, considers some common reasons given for doubting that these systems really are creative and suggests that the reasons do not withstand scrutiny. AI is probably very creative. While it is natural to feel unsettled by this verdict, there are reasons to view it with optimism.  Reflection on AI creativity helps us to better understand the nature of our own creativity and to see why AI creativity is itself “all too human” in a good way.
