Special Track on AI, the Arts and Creativity

AI has been used in recent years to generate creative artefacts or behaviours in domains such as music, visual arts, storytelling, literature and poetry, games, architecture, design, autonomously or in collaboration with humans. There is also a growing interest in developing AI techniques to play roles in creative processes beyond generation, including analysis, evaluation and curation, as well as in creative solving of complex problems and in supporting co-creation environments.

The IJCAI 2025 AI, Arts & Creativity special track aims to explore the relationships between AI and the arts, creativity and creative practice.
