A Polish radio station, OFF Radio Krakow, has sparked controversy by replacing its journalists with AI-generated presenters. This move marks what the station claims is the first experiment in Poland using virtual characters to deliver news and cultural content. The AI avatars aim to engage younger audiences by discussing various social issues, including LGBTQ+ concerns.
The decision has drawn significant backlash, particularly from former staff and the public, with over 15,000 people signing a petition against the layoffs. Critics argue that this sets a dangerous precedent for the media industry, potentially leading to widespread job losses in creative fields. The station's head insists that the changes were necessary due to dwindling listenership, not solely due to the introduction of AI.
