First AI News Anchor makes his debut on Screen


We all know that this era has become an era of technological miracles. Technology is advancing on regular basis and we keep on watching latest inventions and innovations. Every new day comes with a jaw dropping news which a person can hardly think of.

We have been hearing from past many years that Artificial Intelligence is swiftly progressing and in future humans will be replaced by robots. Well, the news is here finally. News Anchors around the globe and specifically in China may have a new competitor.

A TV anchor has joined a news agency in China but he isn’t a human. China State news agency Xinhua has launched an Artificial Intelligent news anchor. The anchor made a debut in World Internet Conference on Thursday.

According to XINHUA, The anchors were developed through machine learning to simulate the voice, facial movements, and gestures of real-life broadcasters to present a “a lifelike image instead of a cold robot,”

This AI anchor is the robotic version of XINHUA real life anchor Qiu Hao. The anchor on his debut said “This is my first day and I will keep you informed with every latest news as texts will be typed into my system uninterrupted. 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”
