Asharq News, the multi-platform Arabic news service provider, unveiled a revolutionary solution, integrating AI anchors speaking in multiple languages on air.
During the evening show ‘Colours of the East’, Asharq News introduced its inaugural AI generated look-alike of the programme anchor, ‘Hadil Eleyan,’ who presented the technology segment fluently in multiple languages, including Russian, Spanish and Mandarin, leaving audiences fascinated. Eleyan herself astutely observed her AI copy, admiring its precision and qualities, whereas the segment on social media reached over million views.
