Indian AI Anchorwoman 'Lisa' introduces herself to viewers on Odisha TV
Odisha TV in India has launched a news channel, headed by "Lisa", their news presenter information about the AI.< /p>
:
“Warm greetings to all. Namaste…I'm Lisa," before telling the audience that it was "a historic moment for journalism."
Channel boss Jagi Mangat Panda called the moment "a milestone in TV broadcasting and digital journalism" and said "Lisa's" role would involve doing repetitive work "so journalists can focus on more creative work to bring higher quality news." "Lisa" will be able to broadcast news in a variety of local Indian languages and bring election results and similar topical responses to the public at high speed.
India Today launched an AI newscaster called "Sana" in April. The character shows up every night during the 9 p.m. slot, reading the headlines before being replaced on screen by a human presenter. The Times reported Vibhor Gandotra, head of India Today, saying that no job loss would result and that the public had reacted positively to its introduction. However, skeptics remain critical of the impact on reporting and presiding over debates if such use of AI presenters is expanded.
