Shortwave Listening<p><strong>AI-Voiced News Bulletins to exorcize the Senkaku Curse</strong></p><p>Radio Japan’s Mandarin news bulletins are now broadcast with "artificial-intelligence" voices, and may have been for some time. The AI note was given both at the beginning of the station’s news program today.</p><p>AI-voice was still only a plan in January this year, although according to <a href="https://www.zaobao.com.sg/realtime/china/story20250109-5708428" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Kyodo News at the time, quoted here by Singapore’s "United Morning News"</a>, the decision in favor of AI had been taken by then.</p><p>NHK, the company that operates Radio Japan as the country’s foreign radio service, decided to either pre-record or AI-generate (or both) further news readouts in Mandarin, and probably in other languages, too. NHK’s move had been motivated by <a href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/2024/08/20/outsourced-and-a-little-pink-at-nhk-radio-japan/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">an outsourced Mandarin newsreader</a> who had gone rogue during the only daily live broadcast at 04:00 UTC and replaced his script with comments on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senkaku_Islands_dispute" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Senkaku Islands sovereignty status</a>, and reminders of Japanese war crimes during World War 2.</p><p>Shortly after NHK’s final decision in January, the Senkaku curse <a href="https://www.guancha.cn/internation/2025_02_13_764974.shtml?s=zwyxgtjdt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">reportedly struck again</a>, this time apparently on NHK World TV or on a video platform, when the subtitles to a news report translated the Senkaku Islands as "Diaoyutai", the name under which China claims sovereignty over the islets. It was said that Google was to blame, as the translation had been based on the online group’s translation function.</p><p>All that may not have been a big deal in Europe (with a few local exceptions), but it is always big news in Japan and China – both of which have their share of nutty nationalists who only wait for reasons to hit the roof. NHK was in serious trouble during the days afterwards, because as a democracy, the country has its share of nutty nationalists in parliament, too, and those had to prove their "patriotism" to their constituents.</p><p>NHK and Radio Japan may now be in safer waters, but the 04:00 UTC transmissions aren’t as realtime as they used to be. Then again, listeners can probably cope with the loss, as both French and Mandarin broadcast have only seen one premiere a day anyway: all transmissions later in the day were only rebroadcasts of the initial one.</p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/tag/artificial-intelligence/" target="_blank">#artificialIntelligence</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/tag/broadcasting/" target="_blank">#broadcasting</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/tag/china/" target="_blank">#China</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/tag/foreign-radio/" target="_blank">#foreignRadio</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/tag/japan/" target="_blank">#Japan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://kurzwellenradio.wordpress.com/tag/nhk/" target="_blank">#NHK</a></p>
