Although Spotify may not always give the highest audio quality, it has always been exceptional at presenting the appropriate music at the appropriate time. With its newest addition—a DJ powered by artificial intelligence (AI)—the streaming behemoth has raised the bar. The AI DJ “knows you and your music taste so well that it can determine what to play for you,” according to Spotify.
The DJ on Spotify will imitate a radio DJ
After ChatGPT’s success, the popularity of Artificial Intelligence has skyrocketed. Moreover, tech companies are scrambling to develop the trendiest AI-powered product. Artificial Intelligence has a lot to offer in the field of music. The possibilities are boundless, from OpenAI’s Jukebox to Beatovan.ai, which can produce music without paying any royalties. Spotify has since gotten involved in the race.
The new AI DJ is a DJ “in your pocket,” according to Spotify. The DJ on Spotify will imitate a radio DJ. This could sound a little unusual if you didn’t grow up with radios. Let us clarify it for you. The AI DJ will play a carefully chosen playlist of music and provide brief AI-powered comments about each artist or song. The company’s personalization technology, OpenAI’s generative AI technology, and Semantic Artificial Intelligence’s speech technology all came together to create Spotify’s Artificial Intelligence DJ. While Sonantic created the “stunningly realistic” artificial voice for the DJ, Spotify’s music editors and OpenAI’s technology provided the commentary. Sonantic, which can produce extremely accurate audio deep fakes, was purchased by Spotify last year.
Currently, it is only available to Spotify Premium customers in the US and Canada
The voice of the DJ is modeled after that of Xavier “X” Jernigan, head of cultural alliances at Spotify and a former podcast host. According to Spotify, this is the “first model for the DJ.” As a result, there will be an increase in the number of models. Users may be able to choose several presentation styles in addition to changing their voices to suit their emotions.
The AI DJ beta has been made available by Spotify. Currently, it is only available to Spotify Premium customers in the US and Canada. If you fit into one of these categories, go to your Spotify mobile app’s Home page and select the Music Feed. Simply select “Play” on the DJ card, and the AI DJ will handle the rest.
