India: AI News Anchor sparks concern

An Indian media group unveiled its first full-time artificial intelligence (AI) news anchor this month — a bot named Sana who presents news updates several times a day.

The AI-powered reporter appears on the India Today Group’s Aaj Tak news channel.

“She is bright, gorgeous, ageless, tireless,” said the group’s vice chairperson, Kalli Purie, at a launch event attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
