The recent boom of computational technologies (eg, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)) has demonstrated their potential to impact human-computer interaction (HCI) by creating a new co-creation relationship, human-computer co-creativity. This human-computer co-creativity relationship can affect the current approaches to the production-consumption and producers-consumers of HCI products. This study provides a systematic literature overview of computational co-creativity research. Articles from Scopus and Web of Science databases are pulled and shortlisted into 916 articles. Bibliometric analysis of their abstracts and a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling on their full text is conducted to reveal what is covered in the previous academic discussions on human-computer co-creativity. The results of these analyses demonstrate that current research primarily focuses on technology while design, especially speculative and critical design, is underrepresented. Accordingly, this paper calls for more design-oriented research to develop a more comprehensive understanding of human-computer co-creativity, especially from critical and speculative design perspectives.
