From TechCrunch: Spotify’s addition of its AI DJ feature, which introduces personalized song selections to users, was the company’s first step into an AI future. Now, Spotify is developing an alternative version of that DJ that will speak Spanish.
References to the new AI DJ were spotted in the app’s code by tech veteran and reverse engineer Chris Messina. He found indications that users would be able to switch the AI DJ’s language from English to Spanish as well as references to the new DJ’s name, “DJ Livi.” The code also suggests this AI DJ would be available in Mexico.
Assuming it rolls out, DJ Livi would represent the first language expansion for the feature, as its existing AI DJ — DJ X — launched globally last year, but only in English.
Reached for comment, Spotify didn’t dispute the findings.
