Abstract
A recent definition of computational creativity has em- phasised that computational creativity systems should “take on certain responsibilities” for generating creative behaviour. This paper examines the notion of responsi- bilities in that definition, and looks at a number of as- pects of the creative act and its context that might play a role in that responsibility, with an emphasis on artistic and musical creativity. This problematises the seem- ingly simple distinction between systems that have re- sponsibilities for creative activity and those which sup- port or provide tools for creativity. The paper con- cludes with a discussion of an alternative approach to the subject, which argues that the responsibility for cre- ative action is typically diffused through a complex hu- man/computer system, and that a “systems thinking” approach to locating computational creativity might ask better questions than one that tries to pin creative re- sponsibility to a particular agent.
