aceHumans as Creativity Gatekeepers: Are We Biased Against AI Creativity?
Abstract With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly involved in the creation of organizational and commercial artifacts, human evaluators’ role as creativity gatekeepers of AI-produced artifacts will become critical for innovation processes. However, when humans evaluate creativity, their judgment is clouded by biases triggered by the characteristics of the creator. Drawing from folk psychology and algorithm aversion research, we examine whether the identity of the producer of a given artifact as artificial…
Human evaluators discounted creativity when told a product was made by AI instead of a human, driven by the belief that generative AI exerts less effort.
Creativity discount for AI was not found in every study, indicating the bias is context-dependent rather than universal.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1317 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
