Pakistan First AI Reporter: As the world is experimenting with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in almost every sector, Pakistan has also dived into it and introduced an AI reporter. One of the Pak news channels has introduced its first AI reporter. The channel claims that the AI reporter can report news in Urdu. It is being said that after this idea, there may be a change in the way of reporting news in the future. AI Reporter To Provide Real-Time Updates
As per a report, Pakistan's 92 News has launched an AI reporter. The channel shared the information on its Instagram page. The news channel claims that its AI reporter can provide updates in real time. It means, if a reporter's byte is needed immediately on any incident, then the AI reporter will do this work. Apart from this, it will also be able to read the already written news segment. Will AI Reporter Do Field Reporting?
With the AI reporter, a question arises that: how will she perform a field reporting? However, its not possible because this concept of AI will be a virtual personality. Probably the news channel will try something that will make the viewers feel that the AI reporter is giving live updates from the ground. People Are Worried, Jobs Will Be In Danger
As per a report by ProPakistani, this experiment has received mixed reactions on social media. Some people have praised the use of new technology, while several others express that this development may put human jobs at risk in the future.
AI Anchors Reading News In India And China
AI news anchors are not a novel concept, with media outlets in India and China already utilising them. While traditional anchors typically read prepared scripts, Pakistan is reportedly developing an AI reporter capable of delivering real-time news updates. This could provide immediate access to breaking news information. The public's acceptance and trust in this AI reporter remains to be seen.

Five days after fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya, who has been criticised for alleged fraud and loan defaults, created a buzz through a video podcast with Raj Shamani, the founder of the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines, on Tuesday, expressed gratitude for the 'overwhelming' response to the video. The podcast aired on June 5 had garnered over 20 million views. 'To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel. A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4-hour-plus podcast with @rajshamani 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days, and god knows how many more reposts on Instagram and Facebook fills my heart with joy that my true factual story is being heard. May god bless you all,' he wrote on X. See the post here: To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel. A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4 hour plus podcast with @rajshamani 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days and god knows how many more reposts on Instagram and… — Vijay Mallya (@TheVijayMallya) June 9, 2025 Mallya, who has been living in the United Kingdom since March 2016, had said in the podcast that he would 'seriously consider' returning to India if he is assured of a fair trial and a dignified existence in his home country. With nearly a million views, Mallya's latest post quickly gained traction and prompted mixed reactions. 'You deserve justice. Let's see when GOI support you. Good luck,' a user wrote. 'If you are really innocent a toy claim, hire the best lawyer, approach SC, and get a clean chit. You can then come back proudly with your head held high,' another user commented. 'You will always be remembered as a clown. That podcast had zero impact on mature people, only underage RCB fans might have believed it,' a third user reacted. A key accused in a major bank loan default case involving over Rs 9,000 crore linked to the Kingfisher Airlines, Mallya fled from India in 2016. He faces serious allegations of cheating, criminal conspiracy, money laundering, and the misuse of loan funds provided by a union of Indian banks, led by the State Bank of India (SBI). His companies are under probe by multiple agencies in India, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Vijay Mallya is 'overwhelmed, humbled' as podcast hits 20 million views
Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, former owner of Kingfisher Airlines, has broken his silence after nearly a decade. In a candid podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani, Mallya opened up about his rise, fall, and the controversial collapse of Kingfisher Airlines. The episode has gone viral, clocking over 20 million views on YouTube within just four days and generating widespread traction on Instagram and Facebook. Reacting to the overwhelming response, Mallya posted on X on June 10, 'To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel.' He added, 'A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4 hour plus podcast with @rajshamani. 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days and god knows how many more reposts on Instagram and Facebook fills my heart with joy that my true factual story is being heard. May god bless you all.' Vijay Mallya's rare public appearance In his first extensive interview since 2013, Mallya sat down for over four hours to discuss his version of events that led to the downfall of Kingfisher Airlines. The conversation, which aired on Thursday, June 5, was titled 'Vijay Mallya Podcast: Rise & Downfall Of Kingfisher Airlines, Loans & RCB'. In the podcast, Mallya claimed he made four different settlement offers to banks between 2012 and 2015 after Kingfisher Airlines collapsed, but none were accepted. 'It was always my intention to settle. Never did I say I didn't want to pay,' he told Shamani. He also mentioned meeting the then chairperson of the State Bank of India (SBI) at their Hyderabad training academy with a settlement proposal. 'They wanted ₹14,000 crore which is why they didn't accept,' he said. Earlier this year, in February, Mallya's counsel told the Karnataka High Court that around ₹6,200 crore had already been recovered. This came after Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Parliament last December that ₹14,000 crore had been recovered from Mallya, Nirav Modi, and Mehul Choksi. Mallya faces multiple charges, including cheating, conspiracy, and money laundering. His companies, including Kingfisher Airlines and United Breweries (Holdings) Limited, are under scrutiny for violating the Companies Act and capital market norms. Vijay Mallya on Kingfisher's collapse Mallya also revisited a key meeting with the then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee during the early years of Kingfisher's financial troubles. 'I told him we needed to downsize the airline. He said continue as is – and that's how it all started,' Mallya recalled. Addressing misconceptions around the loans, Mallya said, 'Kingfisher Airlines never borrowed from SBI. Let me set the record straight.' He then explained that SBI was a lender to Air Deccan, which later merged with Kingfisher in 2008. Post-merger, the two bank groups became a single lending entity. 'The consortium of 17 banks believed in the vision. They did their own appraisals,' he said, adding that support from the then finance minister helped secure loans through SBI Capital Markets, despite weak credit ratings. Mallya further stressed he had personally infused ₹3,000 crore into the airline from UB Holdings Ltd. 'You talk about siphoning money, my lifestyle, Formula 1... but no one talks about the money I put in to keep it afloat,' he said. 'I gave my personal guarantee. The UB Group gave a corporate guarantee. Koi chor kabhi apna personal guarantee deta hai kya (Does any thief ever give a personal guarantee)?' He also referred to Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, who has publicly stated that Mallya put everything on the line for Kingfisher. 'But that's not appreciated. That's sad,' he said. Mallya alleged the media was influenced by the government to push a particular narrative. 'That is why I haven't bothered about it in the last nine years,' he said. ALSO READ | 'I never borrowed a rupee personally' At one point in the podcast, Mallya showed documents from the Debt Recovery Tribunal in Bengaluru to support his claims. "Vijay Mallya has not borrowed a single rupee from anybody ever. Kingfisher Airlines, the company, borrowed – and I was the guarantor. There's a big difference,' he clarified. He reiterated that the recovery amount includes his personal shares and collaterals such as the Kingfisher brand and properties. 'Nobody dreams of sharing values. That's your answer to all the narratives,' he added. Mallya also used the platform to issue a long-awaited apology to Kingfisher Airlines employees. 'For those who are interested, I have spoken for the first time in nine years on this podcast. I want to say sorry to employees of Kingfisher Airlines and also to set the record straight with facts and the truth.' Watch the full video here:
