Creative Identity in the Era of Artificial Intelligence:
Psychological Effects of Working with Neural Networks

Artificial intelligence has entered creative industries with extraordinary speed. Writers, designers, illustrators, musicians, and other creators increasingly find themselves collaborating with systems capable of generating ideas, images, and text within seconds.

For many people this development is both exciting and unsettling. AI tools can remove creative barriers, provide inspiration, and accelerate experimentation. At the same time, some creators begin to question their own role in the process: if a machine can produce something instantly, what does authorship mean today?

Recent research in human-AI collaboration and creativity studies indicates that the psychological impact of these technologies varies significantly between individuals. Some people report increased productivity and freedom to experiment, while others experience reduced confidence in their own creative abilities.

In certain cases, creators may even experience a shift in identity—from being the sole author to becoming a curator or director of machine-generated ideas.

This webinar series offers a balanced and thoughtful exploration of how neural networks influence motivation, creative self-esteem, and the sense of authorship.

The goal is not to promote AI technologies or predict the future of creative industries. Instead, the project focuses on understanding the psychological processes that arise when humans and machines begin creating together.
