Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) launched its space on the Spatial metaverse platform, the first step of its kind amongst news agencies in the region, said Director-General of KUNA Dr. Fatma Al-Salem on Thursday.
In a statement assisted by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, Dr. Al-Salem affirmed that the launch was an important leap in the digital transformation of KUNA, which would enable users to provide faster and high-quality news to the masses.
AI would be used to analyze data and information to improve published content, she added.
Dr. Al-Salem said that the production process of news and analysis would help diversify services and would benefit those receiving them.
KUNA, she asserted, is taking an important stride towards using technology in news-making to reinforce the agency’s credibility, adding that employees of KUNA would be able to use the vast resources of the space in news editing.
She revealed that KUNA was ready to launch its news anchor avatar on social media platforms via using AI technologies as well as a specialized hall dedicated to this kind of venture.
These new developments would ease the process of delivering news and interactivity allowing people to reach desired information and would reinforce cooperation amongst the agency’s employees.
Spatial is a metaverse platform enabling users to create avatars and spaces to collaborate, brainstorm, and produce content remotely through virtual reality.
