The AI-Generated Presenter, 'Fedha,' made her Kuwait News debut, reading headlines in Arabic while sporting blonde hair, a black blazer, and a white shirt.

Kuwait just launched its first news presenter using artificial intelligence, and the internet is kind of shook.

Kuwait News—affiliated with the Kuwait Times—debuted an AI-generated anchor on Twitter


The presenter 'Fedha,' disclosed in Arabic:

“I’m Fedha, the first presenter in Kuwait who works with artificial intelligence at Kuwait News."

The anchor - sporting blonde hair, a black blazer and a white shirt - then asked:

"What kind of news do you prefer?”
"Let's hear your opinions."

You can watch the clip below.

Meet Fedha, the world’s first AI generated news presenter from Kuwait News 🗞️ 🗣️ Is this the future of news? #kuwait #ai

Deputy editor-in-chief Adbullah Boftain explained the presenter's name to AFP:

"Fedha is a popular, old Kuwaiti name that refers to silver, the metal."
"We always imagine robots to be silver and metallic in color, so we combined the two."

Viewers of the clip took to social media to express their thoughts, although most didn't have them quite gathered.





Many are wondering if this is the beginning of the end for news anchors as we currently know them.


But some also argue that this fashion of news delivery could help eliminate bias... maybe.


Several questioned Fedha's appearance, as well.



But Boftain shared of her look:

“Fedha represents everyone."

Boftain also revealed Fedha's debut is a test of AI's potential for "new and innovative content."

The current plan is for Fedha to read online bulletins, but we have a feeling that is only the beginning.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
