Are creativity and artificial intelligence contradictions in terms? Margaret Boden argues that a creative product is one that is “surprising” as a result of the combination, exploration, or transformation involved in producing it. Boden uses examples of artificial intelligence systems that fit all of these criteria, but then argues that “real” creativity involves autonomy, intentionality, valuation, emotion, and consciousness. I analyse Boden’s position and argue that her argument is problematic as a result of the anthropocentrism implicit in the bifurcated definition she sets up. Contrary to Boden, I propose that we need not jealously guard creativity as an ability that is exclusively held by humans. I suggest we rather reject the anthropocentric conception of agenthood as problematic within our understandings of creativity. In my view, it is possible to grant (some) non-human agents entry into the realm of creativity, without undermining the value of the artifacts and ideas created, and without undermining the worth and dignity of our humanness
