Experts cast doubt on whether China's news anchor is really A.I.

AI may have created the Xinhua anchor and its voice, but the anchor itself cannot think, Dr Ali Shafti, a research associate in robotics and AI at Imperial College London, told CNBC. "What actually creates those images and the movement of the lips and the voice of this anchor is using algorithms that are related to artificial intelligence. But to call this an AI anchor is slightly overselling it."
