Artificial Intelligence is here and it’s also here to stay.
And now it’s going to be giving people the news.
Cue Max Headroom.
The Daily Mail reports:
Journalists have branded plans for artificial intelligence news anchors ‘utterly terrifying’ – as an LA-based channel looks set to launch them next year.
Channel 1 is using the tech to create digital humans to provide updates about what is happening across the world.
The station wants to launch them on free ad-supported streaming TV – including apps such as Crackle, Tubi, or Pluto – as early as February
But the news has horrified reporters across the US, who warned it could ‘have huge ramifications for an already depleted news industry.’…
The story continued, “DailyMail.com spoke with Channel 1 founder Adam Mosam, who assured his company will not exploit the controversial technology.”
“Mosam admitted that misuse of AI-generated news is inevitable, but Channel 1 aims to ‘get out in front of this and create a responsible use of the technology.'” it noted. “But the public foresees a dystopian future where ‘fake news’ runs rampant because computer algorithms generate it.”
Is there a short space between fake news announcers and fake news.
It looks like we’re going to find out. Sooner than later.
