Kuwaiti media outlet debuts AI-generated news presenter

WAM

A news presenter, created using artificial intelligence, has made her debut in Kuwait.

Named Fedha, the presenter debuted on Kuwait News' official Twitter handle over the weekend.

"I'm Fedha, the first presenter in Kuwait who works with artificial intelligence at Kuwait News. What kind of news do you prefer? Let's hear your opinions," she says in classical Arabic.

The site is affiliated with the Kuwait Times, founded in 1961 as the Gulf region's first English-language daily.

Abdullah Boftain, deputy editor-in-chief for both outlets, said the move is a test of AI's potential to offer "new and innovative content".
