阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information.
Now, there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news: computer - created newsreaders. In 2018, China launched what it called the world’s first AI newsreader.
The newsreader, supported by machine learning technology, is based on two real - life Chinese newsmen. One is able to read the news in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. The report about the launch said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. It’s said that the AI newsreaders will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day” to keep people informed. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China’s latest progress in voice recognition, text - to - speech technology and data analysis.
Some people wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low - cost labour machines.
Some companies have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations. A broadcasting company in Britain recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its newsreaders speaking different languages. The London - based company that developed the system says its goal is to “remove the language barrier” for many different kinds of videos across the Internet.
Technology has been updating our source of information. Now, a new technology, the so-called AI newsreader, has become a hit. This new invention uses the voices of two real-life Chinese newsmen, broadcasting both in English and Mandarin Chinese. It can work tirelessly to keep people informed. Though some people worry about its influence on employment and workers, others regard it as a way of making money. Lately, some companies have also developed similar products by using machine learning.
