Abstract
This survey article has grown out of the human-AI co-creativity workshop organized by the authors at the ICML 2026 conference. We organized this workshop as part of a community-building effort to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in topics of generative AI, creativity, and human-AI co-creation. This article aims to provide an overview of the workshop activities and highlight several future research directions in the area of human-AI co-creativity.
