Agatha Christie Brought to Life by AI for Writing CourseLondon, 1 May (ONA) —- Aspiring writers are being offered vital
clues on writing from Agatha Christie, with a little help from
artificial intelligence (AI).
The British public broadcaster BBC and the late best-selling author’s
estate have teamed up to create Agatha Christie Writing, an online
course using her own words delivered by the woman herself.
Brought to life by actress Vivien Keen and visual effect artists, the
course will use AI-enhanced technology, images and restored audio
recordings to recreate Christie’s words and teachings to make it feel
as if she is delivering them directly.
The course has been created by a team of experts from Christie’s who
have reconstructed her philosophy on writing, drawing her insights on
story structure, cast creation, plot twists, red herrings and the art
of suspense from her work and archival interviews.
Christie’s books have sold more than 200 billion copies and include
66 detective novels and 14 short story collections. Her works also
include as “The Mousetrap,” the world’s longest-running stage play
which has run in London’s West End since 1952 with its only break
coming during the Covid pandemic.
She died in 1976 aged 85 but her crime fiction continues to be
produced for television and movies.—- Ends/Khalid
