 +    finding explanations,​ improving technology, or solving novel 
 +    problems in everyday life. Even imitating other humans, e.g. while 
 +    learning a new skill, is creative in that the imitator has to 
 +    infer the conceptual structure underlying the observed 
 +    manifestation and to regenerate the latter from the former. In 
 +    contrast, current AI-enabled agents are unable to generate and 
 +    draw upon such conceptual structures. Their learning is mostly 
 +    driven by statistics, and any ability to produce novelty is 
 +    largely limited to trial and error. I will try to characterize
