Disembodied cognition and embodied cognition are almost invisible in orthodox communication studies. This paper describes the origins, iteration and theories of disembodied cognition and embodied cognition. It is pointed out that artificial intelligence news anchors are derived from disembodied cognition, increasingly trended towards embodied cognition and preliminarily interacted by the two cognitions. At the same time, embodiment, situated cognition, cognitive development and dynamic system are important factors to sustain the innovation of artifcial intelligence news anchors. Hence, disembodied cognition and embodied cognition should be even further developed and interacted, and their “either-or” relationship should be replaced with a “both-and” one, which will help improve the performance of artifcial intelligence news anchors and harmonize artifcial intelligence with human intelligence in the future from the perspective of media evolution.
