“…The Chinese Copyright Law protects those contents produced by the AI services, and there is previous jurisprudence which can guide that novel implementation (Kuai et al, 2022). It is also useful to implement this technology with human assistance, to expand the available sources of information (Xie & Zhao, 2014); or as part of a fact-checking strategy, to contrast figures in journalistic research (Yu & Huang, 2021). AI can also serve as a news anchor (Wang, 2021;Xue & Jin, 2022), in order to fulfil the needs of a media that, like the Internet, is open 24 hours a day.…”

“…This problem may explain the high volume of fake news that Chinese citizens usually receive (Tang et al, 2021), in the highly moderated context imposed by the GFW. Moreover, AI news writing can minimize journalistic creativity (Xi & Latif, 2022;Yu & Huang, 2021;Zhang, 2023), a negative factor that highlights the need for further AI development.…”

“…The People's Daily, the voice of the CCP, has also established the AI Institute with Lenovo and iFlytek, among others (Kuai et al, 2022). Xinhua has developed the world's first AI news anchor in collaboration with Sogou.com, a search engine that is dependent on Tencent (Yu & Huang, 2021). Toutiao Lab and Peking University created the Xiaomingbot in 2016 to generate news on the Olympic Games (Xi & Latif, 2022).…”

“…Most of the selected works in this line are focused on the AI news anchors. From this perspective, Yu & Huang (2021) interviewed 18 journalists -13 of them working in Chinese national media outlets, the rest were working in international media-, to analyse the influence of AI within their jobs, along with the internal processes of implementation of AI inside of the media outlets. In the results, the researchers found a general agreement on the perceived benefits of AI, concretely, to develop the "tedious routines" (p. 419).…”

pero creada y distribuida con una intención maliciosa. A pesar de sus posibles efectos negativos, la IA está transformando el panorama mediático junto con otras tecnologías. Este artículo explora la relación entre la IA y la desinformación en el contexto del periodismo en línea chino. La ciberesfera china se puede explicar a través de definiciones opuestas. Por ejemplo, China es un país donde los medios de comunicación masiva, especialmente los medios de noticias, están bajo vigilancia del gobierno y donde no hay medios polarizados, a diferencia de las democracias occidentales. Después de realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre la relación entre la IA, el periodismo y la desinformación en China, se detectaron vacíos en la literatura que incluyen las iniciativas autorreguladas realizadas por la IA dentro de los medios de comunicación, el impacto de la IA en el periodismo especializado, la evaluación de textos producidos por la IA, y los efectos de las campañas y productos de cámara de eco entre la población china

“…However, the change led by artificial intelligence has also raised concerns in the journalism industry that the problems of opacity, bias, and discrimination associated with AI technology will be magnified as it begins to be applied in the production and broadcasting of news [ 6 ]. Some scholars have even raised the concern that humanoid news will be marginalized and ultimately replaced by AI [ 7 ]. From a technological development point of view, Sogou CTO Chen Wei mentioned that the first AI news anchor is still in the first stage of AI development, and it will take a long time to reach the second and third stages, namely, artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial super intelligence (ASI).…”

Since the concept of artificial intelligence was introduced in 1956, AI technology has been gradually applied in various fields, including journalism. This paper focuses on research related to AI news anchors, and two correlated experiments are applied to examine audiences’ perceived attractiveness of AI news anchors from a psychological dimension. Study 1 focuses on the different variables that influence the behavioral willingness of AI news anchor viewers, while Study 2 focuses on the mediating and moderating variables that influence audiences’ psychological changes. The results indicate that non-humanoid female AI news anchors who use anthropomorphic voices to broadcast news obtain the highest perceived attractiveness among audiences. Additionally, the mediating effect of perceived attractiveness and the negative moderating effect on the inherent impression of traditional news anchors are both verified in the study. Based on the research findings, the implications and suggestions are addressed accordingly.

The purpose is to solve the safety production and management problems of the gold Industrial Chain and give early warning of the safety situation of the gold Industrial Chain. According to the theory of industrial chain security governance and the basic situation of the gold Industrial Chain, this work establishes a gold Industrial Chain model based on smart blockchain and system dynamics (SD), and discusses the application of the gold Industrial Chain in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The overall goal of the application of IoT technology to the safety management of intelligent gold mines is to take the gold mine production demand as the driving force. The digitalization of production, electromechanical, safety, dispatching, and other information realizes intelligent digital perception, assists decision-making, guides the safety management of gold mining operations, continuously improves the operation efficiency of the gold mining industry, and drives the development of the industry. Finally, it takes the resource reserve of China’s gold industry from 2011 to 2021 as the research data introduces the weighting method to assess the security situation of China’s gold Industrial Chain from 2011 to 2021. The safety performance of China's environmental industry chain is evaluated through the detailed introduction of the basic information of the gold Industrial Chain. The result shows that the security situation of China’s gold Industrial Chain from 2011 to 2021 shows an overall growth trend, 88.42% higher than in 2014. The security situation of China’s gold Industrial Chain from 2011 to 2021 positively impacted the opening of the domestic gold market and entering the international gold market, improving the security level of China’s gold Industrial Chain. In this work, a gold Industrial Chain security model based on smart blockchain and SD is established to solve the safety problem of the gold Industrial Chain, which can improve the safety level of the gold industry and promote its sustainable development.
