AI News Anchor Introduced in South Korea on National Television

World’s first AI News Anchor has been introduced in South Korea on the national television channel called, MBN.

News can be read online easily but still, there are several reasons that news anchors are still applicable. This is because anchors have a unique way of delivering news and observes the news with comments which make the news more thoughtful and describes more about surroundings rather than just reading them. 

It only takes a minute for the production of virtual anchor footage for a news piece up to a thousand words long because no makeup, outfits, or rehearsals are needed for the virtual anchor.

In South Korea, a cable channel named MBN is the first broadcaster in the country to launch an AI-powered news anchor dubbed AI Kim. However, it may be possible that these anchors might get replaced by artificial intelligence.
