Polish Radio Station Abandons AI Presenters After Outcry

A Polish radio station has abandoned its AI-powered presenters after facing an outcry from listeners and staff. The private station, TOK FM, had introduced two AI-generated voices to host some of its overnight shows. However, the move sparked criticism from listeners who complained that the AI voices sounded unsettling and lacked human qualities. The station’s journalists also protested the use of AI presenters, arguing that it undermined their work and threatened job security. In response to the backlash, TOK FM announced that it would discontinue the AI presenters and return to using human hosts for all its shows. The incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the use of AI in media and other industries, with concerns over its potential impact on jobs and the quality of content.
