Polish radio station replaces human presenters with AI characters
Radio Kraków, a state-owned broadcaster in Poland, relaunched its OFF Radio Kraków channel with AI-generated presenters, replacing human external collaborators. Around a dozen staff lost their jobs as a result. The station's manager stated that the decision was based on the channel's low listenership and that no employees were dismissed, only external collaborators. Former staff launched a petition criticizing the move as a dangerous precedent for the media industry.
