A television station in Kuwait claims to have created a virtual news anchor using artificial intelligence.

“Fedha” made its debut on a Twitter account of Kuwait News, a media partner of the Kuwait Times.

She appeared as a young woman with light hair, wearing a black jacket and a white blouse.

“Hello, I’m Fedha, Kuwait’s first news anchor working through artificial intelligence at Kuwait News. What news do you prefer to hear? I am ready to listen to your requests”, says the virtual presenter in Arabic.

According to one of the television editors, Fedha is able to speak with a Kuwaiti accent and read newspaper headlines. He explains that its name comes from an old Arabic word for silver.
