BOT COTTON IS ENDER WRITERS

‘AI will pen soaps in five years'

- JERRY LAWTON

SOAPS such as EastEnders may be made by AI within three years, according to one of Britain's top filmmakers.

James Hawes, who directed Gary Oldman's spy series Slow Horses, told MPs artificial intelligence would soon be able to make shows without any human input.

He added that what has been dubbed "Bot Cotton's adventures" "may not be as polished" as content created by humans.
