TL;DR: MBN introduces Korea’s first AI news anchor
As my previous post about technology will replace workforce in the near future, cable channel MBN became the first broadcaster in Korea to report the news with an AI (artificial intelligence) announcer.
MBN has turned its news anchor Kim Ju-ha into an AI entity that is fully controllable by the company.
It is said that the virtual news anchor — dubbed as AI Kim — is almost identical to her human counterpart, both in terms of looks, nuance, and the sound of her voice.
“I was created through deep learning 10 hours of video of Kim Ju-ha, learning the details of her voice, the way she talks, facial expressions, the way her lips move, and the way she moves her body,” said AI Kim, adding, “I am able to report news exactly the way that anchor Kim Ju-ha would.”
You can watch Kim talk with her AI counterpart below:
