AI newsreaders are the newest generation of digital presenters at WNC, delivering news bulletins with the help of artificial intelligence. Three AI newsreaders were recently introduced: Sarah, Frans and Lucas. They are based on the presentation and speaking style of well-known Dutch newsreaders and can deliver current news with a natural voice 24 hours a day. The AI presenters are developed as a complement to the human newsreaders, not a replacement.
