The radio station Radio Sancti Spíritus has launched the first presenter of Cuban radio created with Artificial Intelligence (AI), named Rosalba.
The official presentation of the avatar took place during a conference hosted by the mentioned media outlet at the La Guayabera 5.10 Technology Fair.
Rosalba is the first avatar generated with Artificial Intelligence in the Radio System in Cuba, the station highlighted.
She also explained that her name is the same as the protagonist of a song by Miguel Companioni, one of the representatives of Trova Spirituana.
"Hello, I'm Rosalba, the new host of Radio Sancti Spíritus, and I'm launching this new production format for the multiplatform radio project. In my debut, I want to introduce you to our content on YouTube," says the avatar in her first program.
The broadcaster stated before the presentation that it will use AI to "animate stories originally conceived for the air and now available on the YouTube channel."
However, the identity of the avatar's creator is unknown, as is whether it was modeled after a real person.
Amid the severe nationwide crisis, Cuba has begun its foray into AI, one of the most widely used technological tools today.
Also from abroad, several creators have reimagined Cuban cities using AI, such as those depicted in the future Havana without the communist regime.
