Solution
Welt TV, owned by Axel Springer, has launched its first AI-generated news programme: a five-minute bulletin, focused on developments in artificial intelligence, hosted by a synthetic avatar modelled on a real-life reporter, Paul Klinzing. Around 90% of the programme is produced using AI, including topic selection and scriptwriting. Some footage and interviews are real, but the blend of synthetic and authentic content is not clearly marked, which is provoking questions about transparency. Axel Springer has also rolled out WELTgo!, a GPT-based assistant that helps subscribers navigate content, and is using AI to repurpose older broadcasts for new platforms.
