新華女姓AI新聞主播—新小萌。 相片：新華

AI，人工智能，是近年的投資熱點。AI技術的應用領域非常廣泛，它可以讓汽車實現無人駕駛，可以讓機器人代替真人來工作。2月19日，新華社聯合搜狗公司在北京發布全新升級的站立式AI合成主播，並推出全球首個AI合成女主播。

去年，新華社與搜狗曾經發布過一個AI男主播。此次，AI合成主播的技術在原來的基礎上，在很多方面取得新的突破，特別是在聲音和圖像兩大引擎上有了較大的優化。在聲音方面，採用波形建模技術生成音頻，極大提升了合成音頻的表現力和真實度，使聲音更具情感。在圖像方面，通過模型優化及多風格數據的使用，實現更加逼真的表情合成、肢體動作與語義的恰當匹配以及更加自然的唇動效果。

簡單的說，就是最新的技術使得機器能夠逼真地模擬人類說話時的聲音、嘴唇動作和表情，並且將三者自然配合，與真人幾乎一樣。

從新華社發布的圖中可以看到，這一男一女兩個AI機器人主播跟真人並沒有什麽區別。使用者只需輸入新聞的文本，機器人就可以用合成後的聲音，進行新聞播報，全天24小時的工作，不需要任何休息。

而且，AI機器人在播報上，只要文本不出錯，就不會出現任何失誤，比起真人播報優勢還是很大的。這項技術不止在中文主播身上行得通，英文主播照樣應對自如。

這種可以24小時/7天/365天持續工作、零誤報、自帶化妝造型燈光攝影、還長生不老的AI合成主播上崗了，網友們問：這是來搶新聞主播們的飯碗嗎？
