Heutagogy-based Human-AI Co-creation Practice

A Framework for Enhancing Undergraduate Creativity

Abstract

The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are opening up a complex world where human and AI coexist. It is imperative to develop our understanding of human-computer relationship, and to enhance graduate creativity in order to ensure their competitiveness in a technology-rich word. Recent research has begun to view AI as an independent collaborator and has explored the use of Human-AI Co-Creation (HACC) to foster creativity. However, it remains unclear how HACC practices can be designed to truly benefit undergraduate creativity. The solution to this issue lies in the creation of autonomous learners who can maintain agency in their interactions with AI, aligning with the core idea of Heutagogy. Therefore, this position paper proposes a conceptual framework of HACC for enhancing undergraduate creativity, and explores how the principles of heutagogy can be mapped onto the design of HACC practice.
