What do you think about Erica? Does this android have what it takes to become a TV news anchor or do you think there's more work that needs to be done before it is suitable to do the task?

Two things: (1) Physical appearance is getting more and more lifelike, as are CGI characters in movies, and it won't be long before it has crossed the uncanny valley. (2) AI progress towards intelligent conversation, as in correctly interpreting unscripted input and responding appropriately is way, way down the road yet.

If all a news anchor has to do is deliver scripted conversation, then I can see that happening relatively soon, but after the novelty wears off will viewers still tune in?
