This issue highlights creativity in software engineering in light of the generative AI megatrend. I m enthusiastically delighted to introduce an absolute authority on creativity in the digital era. What makes this moment even more special is that our guest columnist is returning to share insights in the Requirements department. I have the honor of welcoming back our longest-serving editor (2005-2013), Prof. Neil Maiden. He now runs the Institute for Creativity and AI, which takes up all of his time. Get ready for a tour of the prelarge language model creativity topic that leads to actionable guidance for your requirements work today. Your future products and services deserve it!
