Computational creativity, intelligence and autonomy.

This Special Issue includes a number of those papers, along with others submitted after the event, all of which investigate one or more of these key concepts within AI. The contributors come from a wide range of disciplines, and this adds to the rich fecund of material that the issue contains. The research in this Special Issue contributes to already existing debates within computation, but the benefits of our interdisciplinary approach are that these contributions are often novel, sometimes provocative, and always stimulating. The questions that concepts like intelligence, autonomy and creativity inspire have not been answered in any final way by the work in this issue, nor was this ever the intention of the guest editors. In fact, we sincerely hope to have raised many more questions on these topics than our contributors could ever have hoped to answer, and in this way, to have inspired further work on the topics.
