## Abstract

Astounding examples of creativity abound in science, engineering, mathematics, computer science, technology, and art; in fact, creativity is essential to their functioning and growth. Manifestations that cross, blur, link, and synergize these domains have resulted in concepts and ideas that make us proud to be human. Much has been written about creativity, but studies are unevenly represented across domains. This perspective will touch on all the previously mentioned domains, span individuals and teams, and intertwine archetypal historical examples of creative fluidity with how creativity may be affected and accelerated by computational tools and artificial intelligence. The objective of this piece is to present a broad and unified perspective of what is a vast creativity landscape, a view that may be lost when focusing on components rather than the whole.
