Spotify is dipping its toes further into the world of AI with the development of a Spanish-speaking AI DJ. This feature, discovered by tech expert Chris Messina through code analysis, suggests Spotify is expanding its existing AI DJ functionality beyond English.
The code hints at a potential future where users can switch between an English and a Spanish AI DJ, possibly named “DJ Livi.” This would cater to Spotify’s vast Spanish-speaking user base, including those in Mexico and the many Spanish speakers in the United States.
This isn’t the first time Spotify has experimented with AI. They’ve previously tested AI-powered features like personalized playlists based on prompts and host-generated ads for podcasts. However, the AI DJ represents a more interactive approach, potentially providing users with a more engaging listening experience.
The AI DJ itself curates personalized song selections and likely interacts with users through voice commentary in Spanish. While details remain under wraps, it could offer music recommendations, introduce artists, or even provide interesting trivia related to the songs being played.
This development signifies Spotify’s commitment to personalization and innovation. By offering an AI DJ in Spanish, they cater to a wider audience and potentially make music discovery more engaging for Spanish speakers. However, details regarding the feature’s functionality and official launch date are yet to be revealed by Spotify.
