#1 A newly created news channel presented entirely by artificial intelligence avatars has been revealed. Channel 1 is launching in February and includes virtual anchors and reporters, but to showcase what is possible its owners released a demo episode on X and its own website.

In the episode, a very real-looking avatar opens the show much like a human anchor would on a news channel. There are real and generated clips reflecting what the anchor is saying. It moves to a second avatar to explain the concept in more detail.

Channel 1 is a technology and media startup by Adam Mosam and producer Scott Zabielski. It has been designed for global distribution, with every video translated into different languages and output changing to reflect the interests of viewers.

The promotional video seems to suggest that Channel 1 stories will be drawn from sources around the world, much the same way many news websites operate. The difference is that story selection and editorial decisions will be taken in part by artificial intelligence. - cite

Think of all the savings at CNN and MSNBC.
