Polish radio station OFF Radio Krakow faces backlash for replacing human journalists with AI in hopes of attracting younger audiences.

Polish radio station OFF Radio Krakow has faced backlash after replacing its human journalists with AI-generated "presenters" during its recent relaunch. The station aims to attract younger audiences by discussing cultural and social issues, including LGBTQ+ topics. This decision has sparked protests and a petition with over 15,000 signatures, as critics worry about the potential for AI to replace human jobs in media. Station head Marcin Pulit claims layoffs were due to low listenership, not AI.
