Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Deployment of the world's first AI news anchors—photorealistic digital avatars modeled on real anchors—that can read text news 24/7, reducing production costs and enabling round-the-clock broadcasting.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Extreme efficiency for breaking news. While lacking the human touch, AI anchors solve the '3 AM breaking news' problem. They can scale to infinite languages and never sleep. A glimpse into the future of commoditized news delivery."

warning The Challenge

Producing 24/7 TV news requires multiple shifts of anchors, makeup artists, and studio crews. It is expensive and slow to react to breaking news in the middle of the night. Scaling to multiple dialects/languages requires hiring new talent.

psychology The Solution

Developed 2D/3D AI avatars based on real anchors (Zhang Zhao). The system uses text-to-speech (TTS) and lip-sync generation to animate the avatar in real-time. Editors simply type the news script, and the AI anchor reads it on screen. The latest versions support 3D movement and multiple camera angles.
