The Institute for Creativity and AI (ICAI)

Description

The Institute for Creativity and AI is City St George’s new space to research and explore strategic impacts at the intersection of creativity, creative work and AI technologies. It champions transdisciplinary inquiry, tackling complex problems that transcend traditional academic divisions and involving academics and students from all of the university's schools.

Pioneering interdisciplinary research

Creativity research is fundamentally interdisciplinary. To understand how AI technologies impact creative work, researchers from different backgrounds need to collaborate on large-scale ambitious projects.  ICAI exists to build these collaborations. New cross-disciplinary projects will investigate and shape how everyday creative activities are changing, from the cognitive, social, economic, political, technological and other perspectives.

With a focus on creativity and innovation, ICAI also serves as a place to discuss fundamental challenges facing creative work involving technologies, and to explore research-led solutions to these challenges.

Examples of the Institute’s recent research include exploring fundamental changes to professional design work arising from generative AI, developing new co-creative AI tools for policy innovation, and responding to the UK Government’s AI and copyright consultation.
