Preface

*Toward Super-Creativity - Improving Creativity in Humans, Machines, and Human–Machine Collaborations* is organized into three sections. In the first section, we focus on the creativity of humans and the related cognitive principles and tools that people must have when they make decisions and solve problems. In addition, we tackle how to increase creative mind skills and develop lateral knowledge at work and in society, as well as how to reconcile creativity and individual personality.

In the second section, we focus on the creativity of machines and their ubiquity and influence in different areas. We discuss foundations and theories, the role of machines in human tasks and skills development, and provide insights into artificial intelligence and digital devices and their consequences on human behaviour.

In the third section, we view a practical and theoretical approach to human interaction with machines to create economic, health, social and political benefits, promoting innovation in change and the wellbeing of societies.
