No independent checks, no legal authors, and no clear oversight. If that doesn’t set off alarm bells for any business leader handling compliance, we don’t know what will.Then we switch gears to something a bit more thoughtful: the AI-powered resurrection of Agatha Christie. BBC Studios and her estate have pieced together a digital learning experience that respects authorship and gets AI right.
