Technology is forever changing the way we
get our news. Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead
of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing
number of people also report turning to social media for information
Now, there is a new technology that could
greatly change the way we get the news: computer-created news readers.
Recently, China launched what it called the worlds first artificial
intelligence, or Al news presenters.
The news readers, supported by machine
learning technology, are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. One is able to
present newscasts in English, the other, in Mandarin Chinese Report said
machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two
newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as
“deepfake” videos. "A deepfake a video that looks real, but was
electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they
never said
It's said that the Al presenters will be a
great improvement to the news team because they "can work 24 hours a
day" on its website and on social media. One of the presenters even
promised to work tirelessly" to keep people informed. Some machine
learning experts said the system showed off Chinas latest progress in voice
recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis
Others wondered about the effects robots
might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low-level
jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised
the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.
Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in
news operations.
Britain's BBC recently released a video
that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers
speaking different languages. The London-based company that developed the
system says its goal is to "remove the language barrier" for many
different kinds of video across the internet. Also, Amazon's working on Alexa
smart speaker system to create a special news reader voice. Amazon is
reportedly preparing to launch Alexas news reader voice in the near future
