News 1st has unveiled an AI-powered Meta news anchor

"I AM THE FIRST OF MY KIND," Maya of News 1st declares.

Meet AI MAYA, the first Meta-Human News Anchor from News1st Kannada in South India.

Artificial intelligence is the buzz of the town.

AI is being used in various ways by brands across industries.

In keeping with the trends, the news media is also increasing its use of artificial intelligence.

Karnataka's Fastest Growing News Brand, News 1st, has become South India's First Regional News Channel to produce an AI-based Meta Human News Anchor.

AI Maya is her name.

She is capable of performing all of the duties of a standard news anchor. Inquire, discuss, and dress the part.

She'll also be on News 1st every day.

"News First is at the cutting edge of programming and technological advancement." Whether it's broadcast technology, on-air graphics software, programme content, or programme names, we've always been the first to adapt and accept. "It was only natural for us to start with AI and integrate an AI-based Meta Human News Anchor into our broadcasting," said S Ravikumar, MD & CEO of News 1st Kannada.

It took three months for News First to evolve, identify, and create this outstanding AI model for its viewers.

AI Maya is fluent in several languages. However, for News First viewers, she will begin by giving Kannada news on TV and digital. Maya, AI, is also prepared to offer news in English.

"We want Maya to use machine learning algorithms to revolutionise television presentation by a meta-human." This will be used for news and unique stories," Editor-in-Chief of News 1st Kannada, Maruthi SH.

"This is just the start. Maya delivered her first news bulletin, demonstrating her knowledge and language ability in both English and Kannada. We are currently preparing her to present a more participatory programme in the near future," said S Ravikumar, MD & CEO of News 1st Kannada.

S Ravikumar, MD & CEO of News First, interviewed AI Maya to better understand her talents and perfection in news presentation.

The question and answer session broadcast on News First Kannada on Thursday, July 13th, 2023 at 8:30pm.

A new daily ASK MAYA show is in the works.

Viewers can ask MAYA questions using the specific WhatsApp phone number or email address given.

Maya will answer the top five viewer questions of the day at a predetermined time.

The company is attempting to make Maya more interactive so that it can answer inquiries in real time and eventually replace traditional news distribution methods.
