Radio Station In Poland Replaces Journalists With 'AI' Presenters


The station said its three AI avatars aim to engage younger audiences by discussing cultural, art, and social topics, including LGBTQ+ issues.

In a statement, station head Marcin Pulit questioned whether AI is "an opportunity or a threat to media, radio, and journalism," promising to explore the issue further. The move drew widespread attention after former host Mateusz Demski, a journalist and film critic, published an open letter condemning the replacement of human employees with AI. The controversy intensified when the station aired an AI-conducted "interview" with a voice mimicking Nobel Prize-winning Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska, who passed away in 2012.
