New to Computational Creativity?

The last few years have seen incredible progress in the generative capacities of AI and Machine Learning. In creative domains such as writing, art, and music, state-of-the-art AI algorithms can now create works comparable to those of human professionals to casual observers. This new paradigm has brought attention to AI-generated content from academia, industry, and the general public, resulting in an explosion of system development, application of such systems, and societal awareness. Hand-in-hand with the development, the importance of dealing with the ethical considerations and the authenticity of AI-generated content is at an all-time high.

Computational creativity, as a field, has been investigating these questions for decades. The Association for Computational Creativity (ACC) has, since 2010, organized the yearly International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC), the only scientific conference dedicated exclusively to AI creativity. This conference series, and its associated workshops, act as a platform for researchers of any discipline to meet and discuss the how and what of creativity in any computational setting. Whatever domain you’re working in, if your work concerns generative AI or any other computational model you’re trying to make exhibit creative behaviors, we’d love you to share it with us.

This year’s conference will take place in Campinas, Brazil, from June 23rd to June 27th, 2025. Just a few kilometers from the Tropic of Capricorn, Campinas is a Brazilian city in the southeastern region of São Paulo State. It is the first Brazilian city to become a metropolis without being a state capital, exerting significant national influence. The city is home to several universities, including UNICAMP (State University of Campinas), and offers a scene with numerous theaters, museums, and cultural centers. The city’s diverse population is reflected in its rich cultural heritage, which includes various festivals, culinary traditions, and artistic expressions. The city also provides ample green spaces, parks, and recreational areas, contributing to a high quality of life for its residents.

ICCC’25 is an interdisciplinary venue open to all researchers, practitioners, and artists to submit work related to AI and Creativity. The ICCC community includes researchers with interests as broad as games, literature, visual communication, software development, the sciences, design, and engineering, alongside AI and ML. Hence, whatever your field, whatever your background, join us!
