Still Waters Posted November 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2018 China’s state news agency Xinhua this week introduced the newest members of its newsroom: AI anchors who will report “tirelessly” all day every day, from anywhere in the country. Chinese viewers were greeted with a digital version of a regular Xinhua news anchor named Qiu Hao. The anchor, wearing a red tie and pin-striped suit, nods his head in emphasis, blinking and raising his eyebrows slightly. “Not only can I accompany you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I can be endlessly copied and present at different scenes to bring you the news,” he says. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/09/worlds-first-ai-news-anchor-unveiled-in-china 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
