Beware, news anchors, AI is coming - Opinion - Chinadaily.com.cn

News anchors must have been rather reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world's first female artificial intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession. In fact, Xin has been broadcasting news about the ongoing two sessions just like her human colleagues do. Some video clips show how Xin works. All Xinhua needs to do is to feed the English and Chinese texts into the receiver for her to read them like a normal news anchor. Unlike previous androids though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being.
