In a significant milestone for the AI industry, Odisha TV, an Odia-based news station, has unveiled "Lisa," India's first regional artificial intelligence (AI) news anchor according to report by an Indian website.
Lisa's introduction marks a groundbreaking moment in TV broadcasting and journalism, with the potential to revolutionize the industry.
In a video shared by OTV on Twitter, Lisa confidently introduces herself, expressing her excitement for this historic occasion.
The news station revealed that she would soon be hosting news updates, showcasing her capabilities as an AI news anchor.
Lisa possesses the remarkable ability to speak multiple languages, including Odia, English, and others, The Economics Times reports.
OTV acknowledged the challenge of training Lisa in the Odia language and disclosed that efforts are underway to further enhance her proficiency.
The ultimate goal is to develop her interactive skills, enabling seamless communication with others.
The news station also encouraged viewers to connect with Lisa on various social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.
This unveiling follows a similar development earlier in March, when the India Today Group introduced their own AI news anchor named Sona. Described as "bright, gorgeous, ageless, and tireless," Sona boasted multilingual proficiency and the ability to be controlled effortlessly.
With Lisa's emergence as India's first regional AI news anchor, the boundaries of AI in the media industry continue to be pushed, opening up new possibilities for engaging and dynamic news presentations in different languages and regional contexts
