Abstract
Proponents of artificial intelligence boast its many promises, including the potential for creativity. Whether the realities of artificial cognition align with these promises, however, remains hotly debated. In this chapter, we explore the role of artificial intelligence in creative problem-solving through the lens of cognition. Through this lens, we advance the argument that, at present, creative problem-solving remains a distinctly human capability. Specifically, we examine how artificial cognition can and cannot engage in each stage of creative problem-solving, as well as the underlying mechanisms of divergent and convergent thinking. Although we find little evidence to support the creativity of artificial cognition, we advance several ways in which artificial cognition can augment human cognition to enhance creative problem-solving.
