A Sydney radio station has been using an AI-generated host named "Thy" for six months without disclosing that she is not a real person. The station legally did not have to reveal this, sparking debate about transparency and representation in broadcasting.

Why it matters: Listeners were unaware they were hearing an AI host, raising questions about authenticity and trust in media.

The stakes: Lack of disclosure may undermine minority representation and the opportunity for real Asian-Australian female presenters.

The big picture: Australian regulators are still developing policies on AI use and transparency in broadcast media.

Commenters say: Many express concern over transparency and call for clear labeling, while others debate the ethical impact on real broadcasters.
