Mirage News Network, a New York-based AI video startup, conducted a 24-hour continuous AI-generated news broadcast featuring AI avatars as anchors and interviewers.

The experiment tested Mirage's technology in creating convincing AI avatars and automated news production elements at a cost of around $50,000.
