内容简介| ABSTRACT
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly its growing cognitive prowess, has presented humanity with a profound and unsettling question: What does it truly mean to be human? We contend that two essential qualities continue to define our human identity—our capacity to feel (affect) and our ability to create (creativity). These two dimensions are not only foundational but also deeply intertwined. While creativity (and innovation) is often understood as a cognitive process—where we “create by thinking”—this view overlooks its equally vital emotional dimension. Based on an integration of research spanning over multiple disciplines, we argue that creativity is also a profoundly affective experience: we “create by feeling.”
