Did William Shakespeare Actually Write 'Henry VIII'? Artificial Intelligence May Have the Answer

'Henry VIII' was a collaborative work by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher. After Shakespeare's death in 1616, Fletcher replaced him as the house playwright for acting troupe The King's Men. It was a known fact to literary experts that the play was written by both Shakespeare and Fletcher, but it remained unknown as to who penned what parts of the play. Czech artificial intelligence researcher, Petr Plecháč, decided to solve this mystery by training a machine-learning algorithm on the works of Shakespeare, Fletcher, and other contemporary writers. As per his findings, the algorithm proved that several scenes of the play were written by Fletcher including much of the second act.
