The newest additions to Chinese broadcasters not only look disturbingly realistic, but they can also move their mouths to match the audio, blink, nod their head in emphasis, or raise their eyebrows. But their most important quality is that they can work 24/7, both on the agency’s website and on social media platforms, greatly reducing news production costs and improving efficiency.
Despite the country’s technological advances in artificial intelligence and broadcasting, they still are having other issues. Recently, a woman got swallowed up by a sinkhole while she was casually strolling on a sidewalk.
