SANA - Your AI anchor

 Sudhir,

 

I continue to watch and listen to SANAA

 

Out of curiosity , just now I asked ChatGPT , a question about SANAA and got a rather ambivalent reply

 

For your information , I reproduce the same below

 

I am sure, millions of viewers of BLACK & WHITE, are intrigued with the performance of SANAA and would feel very happy if you can throw some light on the AI technology empowering SANAA

MY  QUESTION :

 

Indian TV Channel " AAJTAK " recently introduced an Artificial Intelligence anchor by the name " SANAA " . Every evening at 9 PM , SANNA speaks out in fluent HINDI, highlights of the day's news from all over India. She speaks for about 10 minutes . Although she displays realistic facial expressions, she does not SEEM to be reading the text from a prompt. Is SANAA merely a computer-screen based 2D visual animation or is She a free standing 3D material ROBOT capable of folding / unfolding her fingers ? How is She able to compile / collect her news reports ? By spidering news websites ? By watching other TV Channels and storing the AUDIO FILES ? I would highly appreciate if you could enlighten me on this . Does this new AI based dvelopment lead you to predict that the jobs of human TV Anchors are likely to get eliminated ?

 

 

ChatGPT  Answer  :

 

 

Based on the information you provided, it is difficult to determine whether SANAA is a 2D visual animation or a free-standing 3D material robot. However, it is possible that SANAA is a combination of both animation and robotics, with the ability to display realistic facial expressions and move her fingers.

As for how SANAA is able to compile and collect news reports, it is likely that the AI technology behind her is using natural language processing to scan various sources of news, including websites, TV channels, and social media. This allows her to gather information and summarize the day's news highlights in a concise and engaging way.

It is still too early to predict whether AI-based news anchors like SANAA will completely replace human TV anchors. While AI technology is advancing rapidly, it still has limitations when it comes to understanding nuances of language, tone, and emotions. Human anchors also bring a certain level of credibility and authenticity that may be difficult for AI to replicate. That being said, it is possible that AI anchors will become more prevalent in the future, particularly in situations where speed and efficiency are of the utmost importance.

 

 


 

Sudhir,

 

For past 2 days, I have been listening to your AI anchor deliver news in fluent and clear Hindi

 

Congratulations on this remarkable feat

 

Of late, there is considerable debate among AI experts re; potential threat of AI bots getting out of control and harming humans

In this context , you may want to hold a TV debate on the desirability of India taking a lead in the regulation of future Conversational AI

PS :

 

How do you “ feed / input “ the news headlines to SANA ?  Or , does she “ pick-up / compile “ on her own , being connected to Internet ?
