Will AI Enhance or Replace Human Creativity? Exploring Well-Being AI

As part of the AAAI Spring Symposia, the symposium „Will AI Light Up Human Creativity or Replace It?: Toward Well-Being AI for co-evolving human and machine intelligencefocuses on how advances in generative AI, large language models, and multi-agent systems are transforming human creativity and decision-making. It addresses the central question of whether AI will amplify human potential or increasingly take its place. The symposium advances the idea of Well-Being AI, emphasizing human-AI collaboration and co-evolution rather than AI as an isolated or autonomous system. While highlighting the potential of AI to support creativity, discovery, and personal development, it also examines risks such as overreliance, reduced diversity of thought, and loss of human autonomy. Chaired by Takashi Kido of Teikyo University and Keiki Takadama of The University of Tokyo, the symposium brings together researchers and practitioners from technical, philosophical, and social disciplines to discuss principles and frameworks for AI that augments rather than replaces human creativity.
