## Summary

This study explores the concept of creativity and artificial intelligence (AI) and their recent integration. Traditionally, AI has been perceived as incapable of generating new ideas or creating art. However, with the development of more sophisticated AI models and the proliferation of human-computer interaction tools, new possibilities for AI in artistic creation have emerged. The study investigates the various applications of AI in a creative context, considering the type of art, language, and algorithms used. It also delves into the philosophical implications of AI and creativity, questioning whether consciousness can be researched in machines and exploring AI's potential interests and decision-making capabilities. The authors aim to stimulate reflection on the use of AI in creative contexts and its ethical implications. They highlight that historically there has not been a strong connection between creativity and AI due to limitations in technology, culture or public perception. However, recent advancements have challenged these perceptions by demonstrating how AI can contribute to artistic creation. The study discusses major achievements in different types of art such as visual arts, music composition, storytelling, poetry generation and more. It explores how AI algorithms have been utilized to enhance these creative processes. The authors also emphasize the importance of human-computer interaction tools in facilitating collaboration between humans and AI systems. Furthermore, the study raises philosophical questions about consciousness research in machines. It prompts readers to consider whether machines can possess consciousness or if they are merely simulating it through programmed responses. Additionally it explores how AI's decision-making capabilities intersect with ethical considerations. Overall this study provides a comprehensive review of current applications of AI in the creative realm while encouraging further exploration into its potential uses and ethical implications.
