Creativity as a Human Right: Design Considerations for Computational Creativity Systems

TL;DR

This paper explores how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights frames creativity as a human right and derives design considerations for computational creativity systems that align with this perspective.

Contribution

It introduces a novel framework linking UDHR articles to design principles for computational creativity systems, emphasizing creativity as a human right.

Findings

Creativity is linked to the Fourth Generation of Human Rights.

Five UDHR articles are analyzed to inform CC system design.

Design considerations are proposed based on actualized UDHR articles.

Abstract

We investigate creativity that is underlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) to present design considerations for Computational Creativity (CC) systems. We find this declaration to describe creativity in salient aspects and bring to light creativity as a Human Right attributed to the Fourth Generation of such rights. This generation of rights attributes CC systems and the evolving nature of interaction with entities of shared intelligence. Our methodology examines five of thirty articles from the UDHR and demonstrates each article with actualizations concluding with design considerations for each. We contribute our findings to ground the relationship between creativity and CC systems.
