Outgoing “Doctor Who” showrunner Russell T. Davies has criticized BBC director general Matt Brittin over recent comments he made regarding an AI-generated episode of the cult show.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society conference last month, Brittin said he’d been sent a fully AI-generated episode of “Doctor Who,” which he described as “pretty good.” Although he was quick to add it was “not going to replace humans,” his wording sparked instant criticism, and Brittin later admitted he had “got into trouble” over what he’d said. Now one of the biggest names in “Doctor Who” has spoken up.
