In a move that is set to redefine the face of broadcasting in Nigeria, TVC Communications has unveiled the country’s first set of Artificial Intelligence (AI) news anchors.

The media company made this known in a press release on Wednesday night.

This groundbreaking innovation, spearheaded by its flagship brand TVC News, introduces AI-driven bulletins in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and Pidgin.

The move positions TVC Communications at the forefront of tech-driven journalism in Africa, as it aims to bridge linguistic gaps across Nigeria’s diverse population of over 240 million people.

According to the media company, the development aligns with its strategic goal of expanding coverage and delivering news in languages familiar to its wide-ranging audience. It, however, noted that the AI anchors were designed to complement the work of human journalists, not replace them.

We are excited to be at the forefront of this innovation in Nigeria’s broadcast industry,” said the Chief Executive Officer of TVC Communications, Victoria Ajayi. “Our AI news anchors will enable us to take our news coverage to the next level as we showcase our commitment to leveraging technology to drive growth using innovation.”

They don’t need to eat, sleep or take bathroom breaks. Those are three jobs rendered vacant.

AI generates images of non-existent people. So, this isn't an issue at all.

When are they going to deploy AI to fight crimes and address the insecurity currently ravaging the country?

Lest I forget AI is also urgently needed to combat corruption

Hence you're lazy to use your google. China as a reference point as not to make the list so long used AI tools for news broadcasting in 2018.

Check this link https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/102591790

Grow up and learn to compose yourself in the public. Stop behaving as if you live on the street.

You still dont know what you are saying guy.

In your fruitless efforts to prove you are well exposed, you keep exposing your idiocy and ignorance in public.

I think you should just shut up already.
