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.

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.
That’s no robot!
She needs a sammich.
Scrawny arms. Needs to eat a biscuit or something. Geez Louise.
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.
