Summary:

Despite the rich and cross-disciplinary literature on creativity at the individual, team, and organizational level, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more recently, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) puts into question the relevance of existing knowledge in this area. Contrary to traditional AI, GenAI has the ability to produce novel content, including audio, images, text, and videos. Our proposed Special Issue (SI) seeks to build on an emerging interest with implications both within and beyond the Information Systems (IS) community, by exploring how these recent developments especially around GenAI influence creativity in organizations. Is GenAI a threat to human and organizational creativity? Does GenAI “compete” with humans, or could it complement human creativity and what is the role of organizations and managers in this era? These are only some of the questions we aim to shed light on with our SI in our effort to develop new understandings around creativity and GenAI. The Session will introduce the Call for Special issue and what is expected from submitted papers. It will also give the opportunity to participants to ask questions to the Guest editors as well as find out more about the paper developmental workshop that is scheduled for November.
