Spotify itself even compares the AI DJ with their already-existing personalization algorithm, describing the DJ on their website as “a personalized AI guide that knows you and your music taste so well that it can choose what to play for you.” The only difference is that the voice is AI-generated, modeled after Spotify’s Head of Cultural Partnerships Xavier “X” Jernigan. And it doesn't sound like this is that at all.”Ĭoleman has a background in the intersection between technology and the arts, and he said the Spotify AI DJ seems to use the same computer algorithm usually used to create its “Daily Mix” and “Discover Weekly” playlists.
“They can learn by themselves, they can teach themselves things that are useful. “AI, to me - what makes it different from regular algorithms - is learning,” Coleman said. Sometimes, X even references what the listener just heard or will give a short biography on an artist.Įlon University music production and recording arts professor Todd Coleman doesn’t think Spotify’s new feature even qualifies as AI. After five songs, X returns and introduces a new set of songs based on a different mood or genre. When a listener clicks on the DJ for the first time, they are greeted by a male voice named X, who introduces the first set of five songs, which are based on what songs the listener has on repeat. In the wake of artificial intelligence developments like ChatGPT, Spotify announced it would join the artificial intelligence family with its AI DJ, a beta feature only available for Spotify Premium users in the U.S.
