Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has transformed the landscape of computational creativity, bridging the gap between art, science, and artificial intelligence. From AI-assisted writing, music, and design to scientific discovery and creative problem-solving, LLMs are redefining how machines contribute to human creativity. As these models evolve, they raise fundamental questions about authorship, originality, human-AI collaboration, ethical implications, and the rise in synthetic content. This Special Issue aims to explore the capabilities, applications, and challenges of LLMs in fostering computational creativity while also addressing the detection and mitigation of AI-generated misinformation and fake content.
This Special Issue focuses on the role of LLMs in computational creativity, aligning with the broader scope of Electronics, which includes AI-driven innovation, human–computer interaction, and intelligent systems. We invite contributions that explore both theoretical advancements and practical implementations of LLMs in creative processes. Topics may include generative AI techniques, multimodal creativity, knowledge representation, and ethical considerations in AI-generated content. Additionally, we encourage research on detection methods for AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, and the verification of content authenticity.
We welcome original research articles and reviews on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Generative AI for Creativity: AI-assisted storytelling, poetry, music, design, and visual arts;
- LLMs in Scientific and Technological Innovation: AI-driven hypothesis generation, algorithmic creativity, and research ideation;
- Multimodal and Interactive Creativity: Combining LLMs with visual, audio, and game design models;
- Human-AI Co-Creation: Collaborative AI systems for creative professionals;
- Ethical, Philosophical, and Legal Aspects: Bias, originality, authorship, and IP rights in AI-generated works;
- Detection and Mitigation of Fake Content: Identifying AI-generated misinformation, deepfake detection, and content verification;
- Benchmarking and Evaluation: Metrics for measuring AI creativity, authenticity, and societal impact.
We encourage interdisciplinary research that explores how LLMs enhance, challenge, or redefine creative expression across domains while also addressing the risks associated with AI-generated misinformation. This Special Issue will provide insights into new frontiers of AI-driven creativity, shaping the future of human–machine collaboration and content authenticity.
We look forward to your contributions!

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
