Human-Machine Co-Creativity with Older Adults -- A Learning Community to Study Explainable Dialogues

arXiv (Cornell University)

Abstract

This position paper is part of a long-term research project on human-machine co-creativity with older adults. The goal is to investigate how robots and AI-generated content can contribute to older adults' creative experiences, with a focus on collaborative drawing and painting. The research has recently started, and current activities are centred around literature studies, interviews with seniors and artists, and developing initial prototypes. In addition, a course "Drawing with Robots", is being developed to establish collaboration between human and machine learners: older adults, artists, students, researchers, and artificial agents. We present this course as a learning community and as an opportunity for studying how explainable AI and creative dialogues can be intertwined in human-machine co-creativity with older adults.
