It seems to be flesh and blood like Vicente Vallés or Ana Blanco himself, but on television it has always been said that Not everything is as it seems. Aparajita, the new late-night host of Channel 24 in Bangladesh, is not a person, and not even real, but the first TV host created and powered by Artificial Intelligence.
In the last year there has been a huge boom in the use of AI for almost every aspect of our lives. From training, work or entertainment, new ways of taking advantage of everything that this technology offers us do not stop emerging and almost every day a new use surprises us.
In today’s case, as EFE points out, it is the first TV presenter with AI named Apajaritawho made a brief appearance during the evening news program on Channel 24, one of the most important in the country.
As Channel 24 CEO Talat Mamun explained, the decision to use AI for his show was based on keep up with existing technologiessince these are constantly changing the ways of transmitting news.
“Artificial intelligence is already a reality. We cannot ignore this reality. To keep up and adapt to new technology, we have decided to introduce an AI-generated newscaster,” he told EFE.
During her brief first appearance, this AI greeted the co-hosts of the show for later. read your first news live. What we know is that it will not be the last, since as Mamun has confirmed, Apajarita will be a regular presenter of the news bulletins related to information technology.
It is true that it is not the first AI to present or tell a story for a medium, since ‘Fedha’ appeared in Kuwait last year and just a few weeks ago in India I presented the news ‘Lisa’, but in the case of Apajarita is about the first live connection of an AI, something risky that this time went well.
While automating tasks previously performed by humans can be a positive aspect in many cases, it is important that as technology destroys jobs, people design new tasks and tasks. Replace people with machines without giving him other alternatives can be very dangerous and detrimental for the future.
