Abstract

Research on creativity over the past century has evolved to focus increasingly on the brain as the epicenter of original thinking. However, a broader perspective developed in this presentation suggests that creativity is not only happening inside a person's head. Creativity is a contextualized phenomenon that goes beyond an individual with a brain. Indeed, creativity may not require a brain at all. In this regard, insights offered by recent advances in artificial intelligence will be discussed to complete the brief introduction to creativity.
