The role of artificial intelligence is growing in our lives which affects how we work, speak, and even think. Others fear that AI might replace people in creative jobs in the future. However, it is still imperative to remain creative even with AI around.

AI has revolutionized many industries, simplifying and speeding up tasks.  The self-driving cars and virtual assistants may perform better than humans. This is beneficial to businesses but we have to ask ourselves what is the fate of human employees?

The Creative Edge

Unlike other animals, humans have a unique capacity called creativity. This implies that we can create more alternatives and think differently about solving problems. However, this cannot be carried out by machines  which can only obey instructions. Creativity is not about artistic expression but new ways of doing things and new ideas.

Humans can be creative because they are capable of thinking beyond what we have been taught throughout our lives. This helps us venture into new frontiers and discover solutions that machines are unable to do.

Adaptive Problem-Solving

The most potent tool to solve problems is our thinking ability. It understands information but is bad at new things and feelings. AI can also understand the relationship between things that exist like us but cannot create anything.

It’s where strange thinking comes from for discoveries in science. Research creativity provides an opportunity to consider new possibilities that cannot be reached in any other way. This can change whole industries.

Fostering Innovation

Our development, creativity, and innovation are only possible through life which is vital for all. The world of AI is still being marked by creativity. Creativity is like a spark that drives innovation to create new things, re-think business approaches, and re-make human life. Creativity will enable us to make progress and even improve technology. Technology is for the aid of humans.

Preserving Human Connection

In the age of smart machines, it is necessary to have a real connection with people. Computers should be able to understand feelings, be sensitive, and think outside the box to be more human. Art, stories, and other forms of expression make us express our most personal human experiences. Creativity connects a world of machines with the emotionality of our lives. It humanizes technology and turns it into a tool, instead of being something that replaces us.

Creativity in the Era of AI

We need to promote and reward creativity while dealing with the good and bad aspects of AI. The following are some easy actions that we can take.

• Developing new things should be our goal throughout our lives. Always, maintain our thirst for knowledge and openness to new ideas. Many kinds of knowledge go into one head and creativity grows.
• Do things which we  wouldn’t normally do. New ideas are generated when we hear different ways of thinking and even when they’re strange to us, it gives rise to creativity.
• We should collaborate and share our ideas with others. It is creativity that develops with people. People come up with new ideas by working together.
• In our fast-paced modern world, we rarely make time to think peacefully. We should spend some time and reflect on our experiences, ideas, and thoughts. This can make us  more creative.

Conclusion

While machines are getting smarter, we have creativity at our disposal. It’s what separates us from the others. Creativity makes us write our own story instead of listening to the world. To improve our lives with AI, we should use creative technology. Our creativity should be developed and utilized to guide us through the huge change that is taking place now, a time when technology is changing everything.

Our creativity is what sets us apart from others, even as machines become smarter. Instead of listening to others, we can write our own stories through creativity.
