headline: Navigating codified, tacit and novel rules: Mapping the human-AI creativity frontier
dek: This paper examines the boundary between human and machine creativity by analysing 593 tasks across 126 occupations in the cultural and creative industries. Theoretically, we propose an evolutionary conceptualisation of creativity, structured around three rule types corresponding to retention (codified), adoption (tacit), and origination (novel) phases. Empirically, using GPT-4, we generate synthetic annotations of the semantic content of task descriptions in the Australian Skills Classification. We derive indic…
gain_title: AI autonomy feasibility increases when defined cognitive rules combine with novel rule creation, supporting a predominantly hybrid human-AI configuration across creative tasks.
problem_title: Tacit rules are negatively associated with AI autonomy feasibility, constraining full replacement to 2.7% of tasks and leaving 11.0% AI immune in cultural and creative occupations.
trace_subject: AI autonomy feasibility for rule-based creative tasks in cultural and creative occupations
gain_reading: AI autonomy feasibility increases when defined cognitive rules combine with novel rule creation, supporting a predominantly hybrid human-AI configuration across creative tasks.
gain_evidence: AI autonomy feasibility is higher when defined cognitive rules combine with novel rule creation
problem_reading: Tacit rules are negatively associated with AI autonomy feasibility, constraining full replacement to 2.7% of tasks and leaving 11.0% AI immune in cultural and creative occupations.
problem_evidence: tacit rules are negatively associated with AI autonomy feasibility
quick_read: Researchers analyzed 593 tasks across 126 occupations in the cultural and creative industries using GPT-4 generated synthetic annotations of Australian Skills Classification descriptions. They measured cognitive and behavioural rules and estimated AI autonomy feasibility and efficiency potential to map where human, AI, or hybrid carriers fit.

The mapping matters because it reframes creative work from full automation to predominant hybridity, with 86.3% mixed, 2.7% replacement, and 11.0% AI immune. Uncertainty remains about whether synthetic task descriptions predict actual workplace performance and how tacit knowledge transfers in practice.
limitation: Findings rely on synthetic annotations generated by GPT-4 and a simulated classification of tasks rather than observed workplace deployment, limiting generalizability beyond the Australian Skills Classification task descriptions.

key_points: Analysis covers 593 tasks across 126 occupations in the cultural and creative industries using the Australian Skills Classification. | Authors generated synthetic annotations with GPT-4 to derive indicators of cognitive and behavioural rules and their carriers. | Structured novelty effect links defined cognitive rules plus novel rule creation to higher AI autonomy feasibility. | Tacit knowledge boundary shows tacit rules negatively associated with AI autonomy feasibility.
rundown: The study operationalizes creativity through three rule types - codified for retention, tacit for adoption, and novel for origination - and matches them to human, AI, or hybrid carriers across 593 tasks.

By combining an efficacy logic of matching agents to rule types with an efficiency logic of feasible gains, it simulates task outcomes and identifies two levels of complementarity within tasks and in efficiency potential.
