People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in China, introduced its newest news anchor Ren Xiaorong, generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

A video was uploaded by the newspaper on Sunday introducing her, with the AI telling viewers that she is the new digital anchor that joined the team.

She says that she is quite good at learning and that “thousands of news anchors have imparted their professional skills” to her.

The AI added that she will never feel tired and viewers can expect to see her 365 days a year and 24 hours a day and that she will be reporting the news without rest.

She added that she will be everywhere and there’s not one place where you won’t see her and that every conversation with humans will only make her smarter.

Netizens on Weibo have voiced concerns about the new AI news anchor, pointing out that she looks real and worried about AI taking over.

Some have said that it feels like AI is trying to get involved in pretty much everything and putting humans out of jobs soon.

However, others said that the lack of human emotions from the AI is enough assurance that they will never be able to replace humans.
