Till now you must have heard about AI anchors, who sit in front of the camera and read the pre-prepared script. But pakistan has taken a step forward and prepared its first AI reporter. This step is not only a new experiment in the direction of technology, but can also give a new turn to the future of the news industry.
What is an AI reporter?
Pakistan's news channel 92 news has recently revealed this on its Instagram. The specialty of this new AI reporter is that it can read news in urdu language and most importantly, it has the ability to give updates in real time. That is, if immediate response is needed on a big incident, then this AI reporter can immediately come forward and give information.
Will AI do field reporting?
Now the question may come to your mind whether this reporter will also go to the spot and do a ground report? The answer is no. This AI is a virtual avatar, that is, it is a face created through computer graphics which will appear on the camera. However, technical efforts may be such that it may seem that it is present, but in reality it will be operated under the control of the studio.
Will this technology take away the jobs of journalists?
people have given mixed reactions to this initiative on social media. Some people are considering it as a technological advancement, while some are worried that the jobs of journalists may be affected in the coming time. The question is whether these AI reporters will replace humans or will become a new tool to assist journalists?
AI anchors already present in india and China
It is worth noting that AI anchors are already working in countries like india and China. But there they only read pre-written scripts. This AI reporter of pakistan is ahead in this matter because it has been said to be capable of giving live updates during breaking news.
