  • Abstract

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming human creativity and innovation by enabling collaboration between humans and machines. Through technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and generative AI, systems can create content, generate ideas, support research, and assist decision-making. AI enhances creativity by processing large datasets, identifying patterns, accelerating idea generation, and improving innovation efficiency. However, challenges such as intellectual property concerns, ethical issues, algorithmic bias, and the risk of reduced human creative autonomy remain significant. This study proposes a framework to evaluate AI’s impact on creativity through idea generation, knowledge synthesis, decision support, and innovation acceleration. The findings show that AI significantly improves creative productivity, concept diversity, problem-solving, and collaborative innovation. The study concludes that AI should be viewed as a tool that augments rather than replaces human creativity, with the future of innovation relying on the synergy between human imagination and computational intelligence.
