China has unveiled its 'first female AI news anchor'
In news that journalists around the world are perhaps loath to report, China has just unveiled another non-human that is set to steal their jobs.
China's state-run news agency, Xinhua, today unveiled "the world's first female AI news anchor" to read alongside its male AI news presenters.
