以真人主播为原型的中国AI女主播正式上岗

China's first female AI anchor has made her professional debut on Sunday as the country's state-run press agency builds its growing team of virtual presenters.

官方媒体组建日益壮大的虚拟主播团队，首位AI女主播于周日首次亮相。

The lifelike robotic news anchor, named 'in iaomeng', was tasked to present a story about delegates arriving in Beiing to attend the country's annual legislative session

这位栩栩如生的机器人新闻主播名叫“新小萌”，被安排报道抵达北京参加全国人大会议的代表们的情况。

Modelled after the agency's flesh-and-blood journalist Qu Meng, the newsreader powered by artificial intelligence was jointly developed by inhua and search engine company Sogou.com and can 'read texts as naturally as a professional anchor'.

以新华社真人记者屈萌为原型，这位由人工智能驱动的新闻播报员由新华社和搜狗搜索引擎公司联合开发，可以“像专业主播一样自然地播报”。

'All delegates attending the meeting have arrived in Beiing. All preparations for the conference are in place,' the anchor, sporting a short haircut and pink blouse, read in a somewhat robotic voice.

“所有与会代表都已抵达北京。会议准备就绪。”这位留着短发，穿着粉色上衣的主播以一种机械式的声音播报。

AI女主播

'The second session of the 13th National People's Congress will kick off in Beiing on March 5,' she ended the one-minute report by saying.

在时长一分钟的报告结尾，她说到：“13届全国人大二次会议将于3月5日在北京召开。”

in iaomeng joins the digital doppelgangers of English-language anchor Zhang Zhao and his Chinese-language counterpart Qiu Hao, who were unveiled in November during the 2018 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.

新小萌加入了以英语节目主持人张昭和中文节目主持人邱浩为原型的AI主播队伍，这两位AI主播于去年11月在浙江省乌镇举行的2018年世界互联网大会上亮相。

An AI system has been used to synthesise the presenters' voices, lip movements and expressions based on those of real presenters.

人工智能系统已经被用来合成真人主播的声音，嘴唇动作和表情。

The digital anchors offer certain advantages over humans, inhua previously said. They are available to work 24 hours a day on its official website and various social media platforms.

新华社之前报道过，AI主播比真人主播有一定的优势。他们可以在其官方网站和各种社交媒体平台上24小时工作。

This can reduce news production costs and improve efficiency during breaking news reports, it added.

这可以降低新闻制作成本，提高突发新闻报道的效率。

inhua said that its 'new employees' have taken to their roles with enthusiasm and have published more than 3,400 reports totaling over 10,000 minutes in length since November.

新华社称，自去年11月以来，其“新成员”已经积极投入工作，共播报了3,400多篇报道，总时长超过1万分钟。

China has become one of the leading global hubs for AI development in recent years.

近年来，已成为全球人工智能发展的主要中心之一。

Well since a news anchor only reads the news off a teleprompter I can see TV affiliates laying off their expensive on air staff and going AI. With instant access to news on my smart phone from anywhere I really don't watch the news anymore. I can't even remember the last time I purchases a news paper.

电视台正在裁减真人主播，转而使用AI主播。

通过智能手机能随时随地获取新闻，我不再看报纸了。上次买报纸是什么时候，我都不记得了
