The word creativity originally described a concept from human psychology, but in the realm of computational creativity (CC), it has become much more. The question of what creativity means when it is part of a computational system might be considered core to CC. Pinning down the meaning of creativity, and concepts like it, becomes salient when researchers port concepts from human psychology to computation, a widespread practice extending beyond CC into artificial intelligence (AI). Yet, the human processes shaping human-inspired computational systems have been little investigated. In this paper, we question which human literatures (social sciences, psychology, neuroscience) enter AI scholarship and how they are translated at the port of entry. This study is based on 22 in-depth, semi-structured interviews, primarily with human-inspired AI researchers, half of whom focus on creativity as a major research area. This paper focuses on findings most relevant to CC. We suggest that which human literature enters AI bears greater scrutiny because ideas may become disconnected from context in their home discipline. Accordingly, we recommend that CC researchers document the decisions and context of their practices, particularly those practices formalizing human concepts for machines. Publishing reflexive commentary on human elements in CC and AI would provide a useful record and permit greater dialogue with other disciplines.

翻译：“创造力”一词最初源自人类心理学概念，但在计算创造力（CC）领域，其内涵已远超于此。当创造力成为计算系统的一部分时，其意义究竟为何——这一问题可被视为CC领域的核心。当研究者将人类心理学概念移植到计算领域时，厘清创造力及其类似概念的含义便显得尤为重要，这种移植实践已超出CC范畴，广泛存在于人工智能（AI）领域。然而，塑造受人类启发的计算系统的人类过程却鲜少被探究。本文质疑哪些人类学科文献（社会科学、心理学、神经科学）进入了AI研究，以及这些文献在学科接口处是如何被转化的。本研究基于22次深度半结构化访谈，主要面向受人类启发的AI研究者，其中半数研究者将创造力作为主要研究领域。本文聚焦于与CC最为相关的发现。我们提出，应当更审慎地审视哪些人类文献进入AI领域，因为思想可能脱离其原生学科的语境。据此，我们建议CC研究者记录其实践中的决策与背景，特别是那些将人类概念形式化为机器的实践。发表关于CC与AI中人类元素的反思性评论，将提供有价值的记录，并促进与其他学科的深入对话。
