Zhejiang Television (Zhejiang TV, 浙江卫视) applies AI “digital human” technology across programming and media operations, including a variety-show segment framed as celebrities conversing with their 20-years-younger selves with AI digital-human support credited to Silicon Intelligence (硅基智能), plus deployment of the virtual host Gu Xiaoyu (谷小雨) as a Song-dynasty culture promoter; the Zhejiang TV Digital Human Studio integrates large-model capabilities such as DeepSeek into creation, operation, and promotion workflows for this virtual IP, using voice cloning, speech-driven lip-sync, interactive dialogue, and automated presenting, alongside AI+XR “large-space” entertainment experiments and collaborations with partners such as Zhejiang Mobile’s innovation institute through late 2025 into early 2026.
