In this episode of The Inside Learning Podcast, hosted by the Learnovate Centre, Aidan McCullen speaks with world-renowned AI researcher and Creative Machines author Maya Ackerman about the rise of generative AI and its impact on human creativity. The conversation explores the hidden history of AI-generated creativity, from early computational creativity pioneers to modern large language models. Maya explains how scientists define creativity — novelty, value, and surprise — and how machines are beginning to operate inside that same creative space. The episode also examines the capabilities and limitations of generative AI, the ethical challenges of treating AI as an “all-knowing oracle,” and why the future of creativity lies in human-AI collaboration rather than replacement. Listeners will gain practical insight into how tools like Lyric Studio enhance human expression, how AI reflects human culture and bias, and what leaders must understand as creative AI reshapes work, learning, and society. 00:00 Introduction to the Inside Learning Podcast 00:15 Meet Maya Ackerman: AI Researcher and Author 01:08 The Unknown History of AI-Generated Creativity 02:50 Defining Creativity: Human and Machine Perspectives 03:58 The Ethics and Risks of AI in Creativity 05:35 Collaborative Creativity: Humans and AI Working Together 10:23 The Evolution of AI: From Expert Systems to Neural Networks 16:36 AI's Reflection of Human Society 22:07 The Future of AI and Human Creativity 29:18 Conclusion and Where to Find More Find Maya: https://maya-ackerman.com/
