Newsroom of the future? Chinese TV unveils unnerving ‘AI anchors’ (VIDEO)
In a bold move that’s as creepy as it is impressive, China’s state-run news agency Xinhua has unveiled its new ‘AI news anchors’ which will be broadcasting across the company’s TV and web platforms.
File footage of human anchor Zhang Zhao forms the base layer over which animated mouths and other facial features are placed to produce twin AI anchors; one Chinese-speaking and the other catering to English-speaking audiences.

The robo-presenters were created in collaboration with a search engine company called Sogou. The AI will have “endless outputs,” Xinhua says, given that they can “work 24 hours a day on its official website and various social media platforms” – provided that a human editor can supply them with the copy, that is.
