In an effort to stay up with the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Doordarshan Kisan has revealed plans to introduce two AI anchors who can speak in 50 languages, including those spoken in India and overseas, according to the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare on Friday.
The government stated that the two AI anchors, AI Krish and AI Bhoomi, are computers that are identical to people. However, unlike humans, they will read the news continuously for 365 days without tiring.
DD Kisan, which launched on May 26, 2015, is the country’s sole TV station dedicated to farmers.
The new AI anchors will be officially introduced on May 26, the channel’s ninth anniversary.
The AI anchors will update farmers from Kashmir to Tamil Nadu and from Gujarat to Arunachal, about agricultural research happening in the country and global level, trends in agriculture mandis, changes in the weather, or any other information about government schemes.
“DD Kisan channel is strengthening the three-dimensional concept of agriculture which includes balanced farming, animal husbandry, and plantation,” the ministry said.
The channel keeps farmers up to date on weather changes, global and local market trends, and so on, allowing them to make necessary plans ahead of time.
It is also aiming to bring progressive farmers’ efforts to all people, to assist the country’s agricultural and rural communities, and to create an atmosphere of holistic development through education.
