Overview

This workshop explores machine creativity through three interconnected themes: creative generation, creativity evaluation, and human–AI interaction, with particular attention to sketch-based co-creation.

The program combines invited talks on recent advances in creative AI, a panel discussion on foundational, societal, and ethical questions surrounding machine creativity, and a hands-on SketchKit tutorial for sketch-based creative applications.

By connecting technical advances, foundational discussion, and practical interaction, the workshop aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange and explore more creative, controllable, and human-centered approaches to generative AI. It is held in person at SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 in Kuala Lumpur.
