Abstract
The rapid advancement of AI, particularly through Large Language Models, is significantly influencing the fields of creativity and education. The term "artificial creativity"—defined as a form of pseudo-creativity— and the debate on whether AI can be considered creative and how it impacts human creativity are key topics of discussion within the scientific and educational community. At the same time, the integration of AI into the educational domain and its effects on student creativity are becoming a pressing concern for the educational community. Although the relevant discourse is still evolving, as the landscape of AI, its applications, and experimentation in educational settings continue to develop, the aim of this proposal is to suggest, based on empirical observations, implementation, and current bibliography, AI tools and applications that can enhance (rather than diminish) adolescent students' creativity: to this end, specific activities are proposed where AI tools/applications are employed in language-related subjects (Language, Literature, Creative Writing) to unleash creativity, serve as sources of inspiration, and ultimately contribute to the students’ creative growth. Furthermore, the proposal seeks to lay the foundations for a healthy collaboration between humans and AI, foster a robust AI literacy, and strengthen students' self-regulated learning skills.
