The International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC) is the
premier forum for disseminating research on computational and AI
creativity, bringing together researchers interested in exploring the
ever-increasing capacities of technology in creative domains such as
writing, visual arts and music. State-of-the-art AI algorithms can now
create works that to a casual observer are comparable to those of human
professionals, but many have questioned whether this is sufficient (or even
necessary) for a computer to be considered to be “acting creatively”. This
conference and its associated workshops exist to discuss the how and what
of computational participation in creativity.

Come join us in the beautiful Swedish town of Jönköping ([ˈjœ̂nːˌɕøːpɪŋ])
at Midsummer and discuss questions like: by which metrics should we judge
the creativity of AI output? Can an AI tool augment the creativity of its
human users? What are the ethical implications of algorithms taking on
creative roles? And, of course: can an AI be creative at all? These
questions and more are at the heart of the sub-field of AI known as
Computational Creativity (CC), defined as “the art, science, philosophy,
and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular
responsibilities, exhibit behaviors that unbiased observers would deem to
be creative”.

Computational Creativity

The last few years have seen incredible progress in the generative
capacities of AI and machine learning. In many creative domains such as
writing, art and music generation, state-of-the-art AI algorithms can now
create works that to a casual observer are comparable to those of human
professionals. This new paradigm has brought attention to AI-generated
content from academia, industry and the general public, resulting in an
explosion of system development, application of such systems and societal
awareness. Hand-in-hand with the development, the importance of dealing
with the ethical considerations and the authenticity of AI-generated
content is at an all-time high.

Computational creativity, as a field, has been investigating these
questions for decades. The Association for Computational Creativity (ACC)
has since 2010 organised the yearly International Conference on
Computational Creativity (ICCC), the only scientific conference which
entirely focuses on AI creativity specifically. The conference series, and
the associated workshops, act as a platform for researchers of any
discipline to meet and discuss the how and what of creativity in any
computational setting. Whatever domain you’re working in, if your work
concerns generative AI or any other computational model that you’re trying
to make exhibit creative behaviors, we’d love for you to come and share it
with us!

ICCC’24 is an interdisciplinary venue open to all researchers,
practitioners and artists to submit work related to AI and Creativity. The
ICCC community includes researchers with interests as broad as games,
literature, visual communication, software development, the sciences,
design, and engineering, alongside of course AI and ML. Hence, whatever
your field, whatever your background, join us!

Venue

This year’s conference will take you to the beautiful Swedish town
Jönköping ( [ˈjœ̂nːˌɕøːpɪŋ]), perfectly tucked in between mirror-clear
lakes, fairytale forest and mountainous hills. Further, taking place
between the 17th and 21st of June, 2024, the conference will culminate in
one of Sweden’s most celebrated holidays: Midsummer! Thus, we invite you to
join us in discussing the creative character of computational and AI
systems while engaging in the Swedish national pass time of “Fika” – having
too much coffee and cake, greeting Mother Nature in the beauty of the
