Russian TV Channel Introduces AI Weather Girl, Snezhana Tumanova

Svoye TV premiered its new program, ‘Future Forecast,’ on Tuesday, showcasing the capabilities of its AI weather girl, Snezhana Tumanova. The channel revealed that the program operates using neural networks, with one responsible for the virtual presenter, another for preparing the text, and a third for generating graphic content. The program is set to air five times a day, providing viewers with regular weather updates.

Snezhana Tumanova, whose name is a play on the Russian words for ‘snow’ and ‘fog,’ is an ambitious AI presenter seeking to outperform her human counterparts. Despite her potential to revolutionize weather forecasting, the management of Svoye TV has clarified that they do not plan to abandon traditional weather forecasts featuring a human presenter at this time.

The use of artificial TV presenters is not a new phenomenon. China has been a pioneer in this field, with the state-run Xinhua News Agency launching an ‘English AI Anchor’ back in 2018. Since then, multiple outlets have followed suit. Just last week, China’s leading newspaper, the People’s Daily, unveiled an AI presenter named ‘Ren Xiaorong’ that is set to broadcast the news 24 hours a day.

That would only update her firmware and make her even more irresistible to you.

You're treading a dangerous path...

There is AI that can take snippets of your voice then synthesize it to construct dialog in your voice. The use of it for scams (grandson calls grandma for $$ for example) is going to be huge.

In the other side of this coin whoever invests a countermeasure to combat what I describe above will make $$.
