  • Less than 3.3' high, it has the low slung and highly aerodynamic proportions of a race car
  • Single seat jet fighter cockpit
  • Huge double wing in back and big LED tail lights
  • Tunable regenerative braking

  • In a world first, Swiss public radio Couleur 3, known for its innovative quirky spirit, for 13 hours on April 27 broadcast nothing but AI generated radio programming
  • Scripts were created by ChatGPT and other AI text generators
  • Music played was created by algorithms
  • Voices of the hosts were cloned by software
  • Listeners commented that the voices were professional, the music trendy and hot and the jokes and laughter sounded real, but it is all AI
  • According to Couleur 3 GM Antoine Multone, this was a grand experiment to "master the technology" 
  • Every 20 minutes, the station signed on saying "Today's programming is brought to you by AI"
  • Listener reaction:  they thought the programming was very cool but lacked "the human element"
  • As a broadcast journalist, I think this innovative programming is fascinating and provocative with
  1. AI controlled airwaves
  2. music composed largely by computers
  3. personality robot DJs/hosts
  4. And text written by robots
  • This could be part of the future of broadcasting.
