Antenne Bayern keeps AI off-air, using it only behind the scenes
Karsten Wellert, Antenne Bayern board member and CDO, says the station deploys AI for testing, virtual listener personas and a WhatsApp chatbot, but insists every on‑air voice and editorial decision remain human. The chatbot is introduced transparently with an opt‑out. The company combines multiple AI models for back‑office support and treats live rollouts as iterative experiments.
