The TayuanTwo Sessions, the annual meetings of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, were held as scheduled in Beijing from March 5 to 11. With technical support from Alibaba’s Ant Group, the state-owned CCTV finance media branch replicated two AI anchors based on CCTV hosts Guo Ruotian and Meng Zhandong during this year’s Two Sessions. These AI anchors are available 24 hours a day to answer viewers’ questions on economics, industry, tourism, and more, providing viewers with a new visual and interactive experience. The Ant Group stated that AI anchors primarily utilize technologies such as virtual image driving, dynamic neural radiation fields, and pre-trained speech synthesis. [Ant Group, in Chinese]
