GenAI as a Posthuman Creative Collaborator – Evidence from Artistic Exploration
研究了艺术家与生成式AI的协作关系，提出从工具到共生伙伴的连续谱框架，揭示人机如何共享创造力，对创意工作者、管理者和AI开发者有启示。
Abstract Artists, like other professionals, engage with Generative AI (GenAI) technologies to support their creative practice. While much of this engagement is task-oriented and situated within concerns around environmental impact, intellectual property rights and work displacement, emerging experiences suggest the transformational potential of a collaborative relationship. By drawing on a posthuman lens and employing an interventionist approach, we explore the potentiality of an entangled, collaborative, reciprocal human-GenAI interaction in the creative process. We develop a conceptual framework that illustrates how agency is distributed in human-GenAI collaborations, as artists engage with GenAI across a continuum, from using GenAI as a basic tool to working with GenAI as a directed and symbiotic collaborative partner. Our findings contribute to the human-GenAI collaboration literature by extending traditional tool-centric conceptions and proposing a relational understanding of creativity, where agency is shared between human and non-human actors. Furthermore, this study draws out implications for individual creatives, managers seeking to lift organizational creativity, and for GenAI technology providers shaping the future of human-GenAI collaboration.
