Q. What is the name of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) anchors, recently launched by Doordarshan on its DD Kisan channel?
Answer:
Krish and Bhoomi
Notes: India's public broadcaster Doordarshan's DD Kisan channel launched two AI anchors, Krish and Bhoomi. The channel, broadcasting in 50 languages, pioneers the use of AI anchors for agricultural updates, weather forecasts, and research news. These computer-based anchors, resembling humans, operate continuously without fatigue. This initiative mirrors global trends, following China's introduction of AI news anchors in 2018, and India's earlier introduction on Aaj Tak in 2023.
