Pakistan’s first ever Robot Journalist introduced

The first ever robot journalist of Pakistan has been introduced. The roboJournalist ‘Dante’ can write and publish a comprehensive report on stocks traded at the Pakistan Stock Exchange in seconds after the market’s closure.
“The Pakistan Stock Exchange is closed at 3:30pm (from Monday to Thursday and at 4:30pm on Friday) and it gets the daily report published before it is 3:31pm,” said the award-winning tech startup, baseH Technologies, Founder and CEO Anisuddin Sheikh.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-based content writing software develops a video on share trading and gets it uploaded at YouTube, Sheikh said.
The robot is capable of doing sports and weather reporting as well. It will also be equipped to report on other sectors like health, education and culture. The financial sector, especially the securities brokerage houses and asset management firms, can also hire the robot to write comprehensive financial reports to seek guidance on taking investment and divestment decisions every morning.
“We have advanced talks with three big media houses in Pakistan for deployment of the AI technology,” the startup founder quoted.
“The report is free from human errors and unbiased.Media houses may feed their editorial policies to the content-writing software before generating such reports.” he claimed.
“TheRoboJournalist writes the report after taking into account the related fundamental analytics, technical information (like graphs and charts) and gauging prevailing sentiments. It also takes into account the development taking place on social media, irrespective of whether the development is true or not to gauge the sentiment,” he added.
Co-founder of baseH and financial-sector expert Khurram Schehzad said,“It will cut the cost by 10 times and improve efficiency by 400 times. Around five to six financial companies are ready to deploy the software.”
The Pakistani startup had raised seed funding and the initial value of baseH was estimated at over $4 million, he said. “This is the highest level of initial valuation in the artificial intelligence/tech space in Pakistan fetched by any company so far,” a statement read.
