Computational creativity refers to the ability of a computer system or artificial intelligence (AI) agent to generate novel and valuable artifacts, ideas, or solutions to problems in various creative domains such as music, poetry, visual arts, storytelling, and problem-solving. It involves developing algorithms, models, and techniques that enable machines to exhibit human-like creativity in generating new outputs based on existing knowledge and data.
For instance, a computational creativity system could be developed to generate new musical compositions based on a given set of chords and melodies, creating an original piece of music that is novel and valuable.
