In a video shared by OTV on Twitter, Lisa introduces herself confidently and expresses her excitement for this momentous occasion. She possesses the impressive ability to speak several languages, including English and Odia, and as per the news station, she would soon be hosting news updates and showcasing her remarkable capabilities as an AI news anchor.

This historic moment has provoked immense excitement among many who view it as a groundbreaking moment in journalism and TV broadcasting. As the boundaries of AI continue to be pushed, exciting new possibilities have the potential to materialize, revolutionizing the industry forever.

However, many are also justifiably wary of this latest AI development.
