A User-centered Framework for Human-AI Co-creativity

Abstract

The pervasive adoption and use of Generative AI tools have prompted a discourse on determining the optimal balance between automation and human agency in processes executed by users with the assistance of this technology. This paper presents a user-centered co-creativity framework that identifies key dimensions responsible for the modulation of agency and control between users and AI in co-creative processes. It also suggests an actionable way of implementing the framework in a customization tool, in the form of a mobile application, which can be used to tailor the interaction between users and the AI system following the dimensions proposed in the framework. The paper contributes new insights within the literature on Computational Creativity and Human-Computer Interaction interested in the investigation of modalities of co-creation between humans and AI.
