Using AI to Foster Creativity: Removing the Fear of the Blank Canvas

Abstract

In today’s rapidly changing world, creativity has become a vital skill that students need to flourish. Educators face the ongoing challenge of designing learning experiences that engage students in meaningful, imaginative, and innovative ways. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer opportunities to achieve this goal. Contrary to common stereotypes, AI need not replace human ingenuity; rather, it can serve as a tool for sparking curiosity, facilitating critical thinking, and enhancing student creativity.
