Spotify Features That Use AI Technology

JAKARTA 'Spotify is one of the music streaming services that utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Over the past few months, Spotify has continued to develop its features using AI.

Initially, Spotify only used AI for DJ features. However, over time, AI can be found in the creation of playlists or song searches. Here are some of Spotify's AI-powered features, quoted from Makeuseof.

The first feature that is always awaited every year is Spotify Wrapped. Using AI, the features present at the end of this year will help the background algorithm collect all the information of the listened songs.

The data collected will later be released in statistical form, such as this year's top song or the most listened song this year. Usually, Spotify Wrapped will collect data from October to the end of the year.

Next, there is the Discovery Weekly feature to search for new songs. This feature is updated every Monday so that users can access interesting playlists. This feature will be personalized according to the genre and artists who are popular with users.

The third feature that uses AI is song search. Spotify deliberately uses AI so users can search for songs accurately. In addition, Spotify also uses natural language processing (NLP) for episodepodcast searches.

Next, there is the Voice Translation feature for podcasts. In September last year, Spotify began rolling out the AI-powered feature in several Spanish-language podcasts. This feature was launched so that users around the world can access the podcast without a limited language.

Lastly, Spotify uses AI to recommend playlists and songs on the main screen. Background algorithms will track previously heard songs, then Spotify will recommend similar songs.

In the near future, Spotify plans to use a big language model (LLM) to improve the recommendations of the podcast and audiobooks. This draft is still in the works and it is not yet known when it will be launched.
