BBC Studios与阿加莎·克里斯蒂遗产管理方合作，利用AI技术“复活”了这位传奇犯罪小说家。通过AI增强的视频课程，作家们可以直接向这位史上最畅销的作家学习。课程结合了AI生成的视觉效果、修复的档案音频、训练有素的演员以及克里斯蒂本人的文字，由顶尖学者精心整理而成。该项目旨在以尊重传统的方式，利用科技启发新的故事讲述者，为创意产业提供了一种合乎道德的AI使用模式。克里斯蒂的曾孙表示，课程并非由AI创作，而是对其写作见解的忠实还原。

🕵️‍♀️ BBC Studios使用AI技术，结合演员表演和历史资料，数字重建了阿加莎·克里斯蒂的形象和声音，用于BBC Maestro的全新写作课程中。

✍️ 该课程并非由AI创作，而是通过仔细收集克里斯蒂的信件、访谈和写作，由专家们精心挑选和整理她的原话。

🗣️ 为了实现逼真的效果，演员Vivien Keene不仅研究了罕见的克里斯蒂影像资料来模仿她的细微举止，还通过生物识别技术将她的表演与克里斯蒂的特征相匹配，并结合了Keene的语调和克里斯蒂的真实音调。

📚 阿加莎·克里斯蒂的曾孙承认了创意产业中AI的风险，但强调该项目是对克里斯蒂见解的忠实还原，旨在以一种能够触及更多人的方式传递她的智慧。

BBC Studios and the Agatha Christie estate just pulled off something straight out of a mystery novel: they’ve brought the legendary crime writer back to life using AI.

Writers can now learn directly from the best-selling author of all time, not through textbooks, but via AI-enhanced video lessons where Christie appears to teach, speak, and guide.

BBC Maestro’s new writing course uses:

• AI-generated visuals based on licensed images
• Restored archival audio
• A carefully trained actress (Vivien Keene)
• Christie’s actual words, pieced together by top scholars

“We meticulously pieced together Agatha Christie’s own words from her letters, interviews and writings,” said Dr. Mark Aldridge, one of the Christie experts behind the project.

Reality check

Christie died in 1976. Her appearance and voice in the course are digital reconstructions — a blend of acting, AI, and historical material. The course isn’t AI-written; the words come straight from her documented thoughts on writing.

Behind the curtain:

• The AI can’t fully function without Keene’s performance, which was matched biometrically to Christie’s features.
• Keene studied rare Christie footage to replicate her subtle mannerisms.
• The voice was “re-speeched” to combine Keene’s cadence with the real Christie’s tone.

The move comes amid rising fears about AI in creative industries. James Prichard, Christie’s great-grandson and CEO of Agatha Christie Ltd., acknowledged the risk: “I’d be lying if I said there weren’t worries… But this wasn’t written by AI. It’s a faithful restoration of her insights, delivered in a way that will reach more people.”

Legacy meets innovation

BBC Studios is positioning this as a model for ethical AI. Nicki Sheard, head of brands and licensing, said it represents “meaningful innovation” that respects legacy while using tech to inspire new storytellers.

Whether you’re a fan of Hercule Poirot or a new writer chasing plot twists, the queen of crime is ready to mentor. Thanks to cutting-edge tech and a lot of archival digging.

The course is available via BBC Maestro, a paid educational streaming platform.
