CCTV’s New AI hosts on stage with their human twins
Last weekend, China’s largest broadcast station, CCTV, aired its Network Spring Festival Gala. The event kicked off CCTV’s Chinese New Year Celebrations and was viewed by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. And the highlight of the show was PAI!
This year, CCTV invited ObEN to create the PAIs of the four hosts for the gala: Beining Sa (撒贝宁), Xun Zhu (朱迅), Bo Gao (高博), Yang Long (龙洋). That is four new celebrity PAIs joining the family! PAI became a trending topic across social media, with people turning to platforms like Twitter and Chinese microblogging platform Weibo to express how impressed they were with the technology.

The PAIs really showed off their talent, hosting the show along with their human twins. They created poems, gave New Year’s blessings, and even cracked some jokes to bring smiles to the audience. 2019 is the year PAI takes over the world, so what better way to ring in the Lunar New Year than with the world’s first AI show hosts?

Wishing everyone a joyful, healthy, and prosperous Lunar New Year!
