A news organization in Kuwait is using a virtual news announcer created with artificial intelligence (AI). The organization plans for it to present online news reports. Fedha appeared on the Twitter account of the Kuwait News website Saturday. The AI’s image was designed as female. I'm Fedha, the first presenter in Kuwait who works with artificial intelligence at Kuwait News. What kind of news do you prefer? Let's hear your opinions, the AI said in traditional Arabic. The site is linked to the Kuwait Times, an English-language daily newspaper established in 1961. Abdullah Boftain is deputy editor-in-chief for both news sites. He said the move is a test of AI's possibility to offer new and innovative content. In the future Fedha could speak using the Kuwaiti accent, he said. Boftain added that it could soon present news reports on the site's Twitter account, which has 1.2 million followers.
