OTV, a private satellite news channel, made a remarkable entrance into the regional television broadcasting landscape in Odisha by introducing the state's first virtual news presenter, Lisa, created using artificial intelligence (AI).
The unveiling ceremony took place in Bhubaneswar on Sunday.
Lisa is OTV and Odisha’s first AI news anchor. Dressed in an exquisite Odisha handloom saree, the Al-powered news anchor will deliver news in both Odia and English languages across OTV Network's television and digital platforms.
The video is shared on Twitter by OTV @otvnews with the caption: “Meet Lisa, OTV and Odisha’s first AI news anchor set to revolutionize TV Broadcasting & Journalism #AIAnchorLisa #Lisa #Odisha #OTVNews #OTVAnchorLisa”.
OTV Digital Business Head Litisha Mangat Panda while talking to the media said, “Training Lisa in Odia was a huge task, which we could achieve. However, we are still working on it. We are hoping to get her trained to the level in which she could interact with others easily.”
