Abstract
Current study results on Artificial Intelligence have been published. According to news originating from Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The uncanny valley effect has sparked interest in fields such as humanoid robotics and hyper-realistic virtual animation. Nonetheless, proof of its existence in artificial intelligence (AI) news anchors remains limited.” Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Sun Yat-sen University, “This study examined the existence and effect of the uncanny valley in AI news anchors. Particularly, it delved into human perception and behavior during interactions with AI news anchors. AI news anchors failed to establish emotional bonds with audiences, and thus fell within the uncanny valley. Audiences were sensitive to minor defects and oddities in the AI news anchors, and felt eerie while watching them.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Findings of this study can be used to formulate guidelines for the design of the appearance and behavior of not only AI news anchors but all humanoid AI characters.” This research has been peer-reviewed.
