An artificial intelligence-generated virtual newsreader that will read internet bulletins has been introduced by a Kuwaiti media organization.

On Saturday, "Fedha" appeared as a picture of a woman with her hair exposed and donning a black jacket and a white T-shirt on the Twitter account of the Kuwait News website.

"Hello, my name is Fedha, and I work for Kuwait News as the country's first artificial intelligence-based presenter. What sort of news do you like to read? She said in Arabic, "Let's hear your thoughts.
