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.

I wonder if AI weather girls are like those tamagotchi Japanese girls like to carry around.

The ones where you have to keep pushing their buttons to keep the alive.

Nice to see the Russians embracing fake news. And being oddly honest about it for a change.

China has had avatar newsreaders for many years now. The avatars are completely human looking.

You don’t have to add the term AI to have it be useful. How much artificial intelligence would a newsreader need? Or a weather avatar.

Saves a LOT of salary expense.

They should have modeled her after some of the Fox News babes not some scrawny Hollywood actor.

These AI images are really just a new technology for CGI. Another animation.
