ABSTRACT
=========

In recent years, AI has gained increasing popularity in the area of art creation by demonstrating its great potential. Research in this field has developed AI systems able to generate creative outputs in fields such as music, painting, games, design and scientific discovery, either autonomously or in collaboration with humans.

Therefore, AI also helped to analyze and study the mechanisms of creativity from a broader perspective: from the socio-anthropological to psychological as well as cognitive impact of the autonomous creative processes of artificial intelligence.

These advances are leading to new opportunities research perspectives, while also posing challenging questions related to authorship, integrity, bias and evaluation of AI artistic outputs.

The workshop tries to address these research lines and it aims to provide a forum for the Italian AI community to discuss problems, challenges and innovative approaches in the various sub-fields of AI.  


======
TOPICS
======
Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:

- AI role in understanding human creative processes
- AI systems able to either assist or produce artistic outputs
- Cognitive intelligence and learning for music composing, performing and matching
- Evaluation methodologies of AI artistic outputs, and creativity in AI systems
- Ethical issues raised by creative AI systems (authorship, integrity, bias…)
- Neuroscience, cognitive science and psychology for AI on creativity

============
SUBMISSIONS
============
We encourage the submission of original contributions, investigating novel methodologies to build creative AI systems and algorithms, and to explore the relationships between AI and artistic creativity from different perspectives. In particular, authors can submit:
