Co-Creative

A framing of human-AI collaboration in which the AI acts as a creative partner rather than a tool or a replacement — contributing ideas, drafts, or alternatives that the human writer, artist, or designer evaluates, accepts, rejects, or revises. Co-creative systems typically preserve human authorial control and expose mechanisms for verification, style configuration, and suggestion vs. direct-edit modes. Relevant to accessible creative tooling because it reframes AI from an automation threat to a collaborator that can reduce labour (e.g., visual information retrieval for blind audio-description writers) while preserving the human creator's voice and decision authority.
