Abstract
Generative AI (GenAI) is increasingly replacing traditional human brainstorming due to its (almost) infinite knowledge, ease of generating divergent connections, and rapid responses. However, precisely because of its unlimited capacity for free association, GenAI brainstorming is also characterized by inefficiency; in other words, it can generate many ideas that are not relevant to the objective. This talk examines the integration of Logical Creativity Theory (LCT) (Ding, 2020) with GenAI, exploring a hybrid ideation framework that leverages rule-based logic from LCT to further enhance GenAI's creative capabilities. I contrast this structured approach with rule-free GenAI brainstorming, highlighting its applications in both academic research and business innovation.
