This section analyses how different knowledge technologies impact people’s creativity. Here creativity is intended as the ability to express themselves in a way that is both truthful to what they feel and believe, as well as the power to experiment with artistic creation. This section considers three aspects. First, the risk of standardisation of creative process and content, often to exploit them economically. Second, the section analyses how people have negotiated their creative agency with knowledge technologies, to what extent machines can be considered creative, and if this hinders or support human expression. Finally, we discuss the impact of AI and computer technologies on artistic creativity and how artists can influence their development and push for a more human-centre approach.
