  In this paper, we provide a philosophical account of the value of creative
systems for individuals and society. We characterize creativity in very broad
philosophical terms, encompassing natural, existential, and social creative
processes, such as natural evolution and entrepreneurship, and explain why
creativity understood in this way is instrumental for advancing human
well-being in the long term. We then explain why current mainstream AI tends to
be anti-creative, which means that there are moral costs of employing this type
of AI in human endeavors, although computational systems that involve
creativity are on the rise. In conclusion, there is an argument for ethics to
be more hospitable to creativity-enabling AI, which can also be in a trade-off
with other values promoted in AI ethics, such as its explainability and
accuracy.
