Chinese news readers may have some new competition -artificially intelligent robot anchors that can mimic human facial expressions and mannerisms while reading out reports. the AI anchor, developed by state news agency Xinhua and tech firm Sogou Inc,, was on display at the World Internet Conference in the eastern Chinese town, drawing in curious passers by. The anchor, modelled on real-life Chinese news reader Oiu Hao and supporting a black suit and red tie, is part of a major push by China to advance its powess in AI technology, from surveillance equipment to self driving cars. In another video presentation from Xinhua, a different robot presenter said it was his "very first day" at the news agency and promised to "work tirelessly to keep you informed as texts will be typed into my system uninterrupted".
