Rise of AI News Anchors Masks Limitations of Automated Journalism
-
AI news anchors like Zae-In are on the rise globally, but it's unclear how "intelligent" they really are.
-
Most still rely heavily on human actors, with only their faces manipulated to look artificial.
-
Companies claim AI can present news tirelessly 24/7, but the tech has limitations like inability to meet fans.
-
Fully automated AI news writing is being developed but not operational yet.
-
Questions remain about whether the public will trust AI anchors, but companies believe acceptance will grow over time.
