Ajay Chowdhury: Using AI for crime writing

Indian-born crime fiction author, Ajay Chowdhury, uses artificial intelligence to help him write his Detective Kamil Rahman series.

The Indian-born crime fiction author, Ajay Chowdhury, is writing the fifth instalment of his Detective Kamil Rahman series, set between India and the UK. But Ajay is also a leading digital tech entrepreneur and this side of his life influences how he writes his fiction.

Join fellow author Paul Waters as he watches Ajay completing the first draft of his latest book with the help of artificial intelligence tools. Some authors – including Paul - fear that AI is an existential threat to human creativity, so why and how does Ajay use it to make his books better? And can he convince Paul that AI is the writer’s friend rather than enemy?
