Colombia-based organization Connectas launches AI-anchors to deliver Venezuelan headlines amid government crackdown.

Colombia-based organization Connectas has launched AI-generated news anchors, "El Pana" and "La Chama," to deliver headlines from independent Venezuelan media. This initiative, "Operation Retweet," aims to protect journalists amid a government crackdown that has resulted in at least 10 arrests since mid-June. Eight journalists remain imprisoned on terrorism charges, while the Venezuelan government has not commented on the arrests or the AI initiative.
