Kuwait News has introduced the first virtual presenter named Fedha, generated using artificial intelligence, who will read the online news as an announcer.
Fedha appeared on the Kuwait News Twitter account as a woman with uncovered hair wearing a black jacket and a white T-shirt.
“I am Fedha, Kuwait’s first artificial intelligence presenter working for Kuwait News. What kind of news do you prefer? Let’s hear your opinions,” she said in Arabic.
The first 13-second video that introduced Fedha caused a flood of reactions on social media.
“Fedha is a popular, old Kuwaiti name that refers to silver. We always envision silver and metal-colored robots, so we combined the two,” Kuwait News reported.
