Robotic creativity
I got two e-mails about my note about Bicentennial Man and creativity (see here). First, a book recommendation from Agustin: Hofstadter’s Fluid Concepts & Creative Analogies (which seems very interesting); then another book recommendation from Noel: Margaret A. Boden’s The Creative Mind: Myths & Mechanisms – along with lots of links to AI creativity pages. For now, I’ll just list them below:
- Citations: The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms – Boden
- Boden and Beyond: The Creative Mind and its Reception in the Academic Community (Gzipped PostScript).
- Artificial Intelligence: Will robots inherit the earth? (A general overview.)
- The Further Exploits of AARON, Painter by Harold Cohen. (About a painting robot.)
- AMAn Exegesis. (AM and Eurisko.)
- Machine Creativity. (A website.)
- Simon Colton’s Research Pages. (A mathematical theory of creativity, etc.)
- The homepage of Marcus Pearce, an AI research student.
- Writings by Alison Pease.
Definitely an interesting topic. I’ll look into this when I have the time. Thanks, Agustin and Noel!
