In early October, the station fired its reporters and introduced virtual characters as new hosts. This caused a wave of protests across the country. The station’s editor, Martin Pulitt, said the aim of the experiment was to spark debate about the role of artificial intelligence, but the results showed there was no point in continuing the experiment. A large number of reviews and opinions were collected in a short time.
Pulit said the station was surprised by the public’s emotional response to the experiment, with many accusing the station of intending to replace employees.
