On Mind Your Business today, we look into how a fintech media company based in Perth, created an A.I. anchor to replace a news presenter who left for a rival company.

The AI anchor, named Andy, presented its first story on Bitcoin in October 2022, before becoming the company’s dedicated cryptocurrencies reporter.

So how will A.I. anchors or presenters transform the media landscape?

Can an A.I. anchor actually do a LIVE radio interview?

Lynlee Foo and Ryan Huang find out from Heidi Cuthbert, CEO of Grafa.
