YouTube music is testing AI music hosts that provide appropriate stories, curiosities of fans and comments about what you are listening to, company announced on Friday.
This movement took place two years after Spotify launched AI DJ, which provides a selected selection of music along with a spoken commentary on the songs and artists you like.
The new YouTube Music function is based on ongoing experiments with conversational artificial intelligence. In July, the service introduced the AI conversation function, which allows users to create a custom radio station, describing what they want to hear.
The new AI hosts in YouTube Music are currently being tested via YouTube Labs, a new center of platform for AI experiments. IN Blog postThe company said that YouTube Labs is “a new initiative devoted to the study of AI's potential on YouTube.”
YouTube Labs is similar to Google Labs, an experimental Google arm that allows users to test AI products at an early stage and provide feedback.
YouTube Labs is open to all YouTube users, which means that they do not need premium membership to register. However, the company notes that only a limited number of participants from the US will receive access to the experimental program.
YouTube Labs has recently implemented AI functions on YouTube.
