For over three decades, the field of Computational Creativity has explored the nature of creativity in algorithms, machines, and the artefacts they produce. With recent advances in artificial intelligence, questions around machine creativity have resurfaced: Can systems like ChatGPT truly be creative? What defines machine creativity? And how can we measure creativity across both human and artificial systems? This talk will introduce the core ideas of computational creativity, including related concepts such as h-creativity and p-creativity, the distinction between strongly and weakly creative systems, and possible methods for evaluating creativity. As a use case, a research project on „Computational Storytelling as an Embodied Robot Performance with Gesture and Spatial Metaphor,“ is presented, which connects to ongoing work at the Center for Advanced Studies that investigates the role of gestures and their interpretation by Large Language Models.
