Polish Radio Station Faces Backlash After Replacing Journalists with AI Hosts

OFF Radio Kraków's decision to use AI presenters has sparked national debate over the future of media and journalism in Poland.

OFF Radio Kraków introduced AI-generated hosts to engage younger audiences, leading to widespread criticism and protests.
The station's decision followed the dismissal of several journalists, sparking concerns about job security in the media industry.
Critics, including former host Mateusz Demski, argue that the move sets a dangerous precedent for replacing human creativity with machines.
The controversy intensified after an AI-hosted interview with deceased Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska, approved by her foundation.
Poland's Minister of Digital Affairs called for AI regulation, emphasizing that technology should benefit people, not replace them.
