Music unites us. Now let’s find out if this “we” includes AIs
Summary
Streaming technology and artificial intelligence make it easier to access and create playlists, showing the identity and choice of the listener. IA Playlists arrives first in the UK and Australia, soon in Brazil.
Like many children of the 20th century, I remember the world of CDs and vinyl with nostalgia. And record cassettes. Have we lost something with the end of this world? We lost.
But we earned too much. How did we live without digital music? It was a much less rich, less accessible, less diverse time in terms of sounds and experiences.
A key part of streaming music is the ability to create and access playlists. Every playlist we create reveals our identity, it’s a way to show who we are. And even more, choose who you are, who you want to be, who you want to be that day.
Now Spotify announces that you will be able to create playlists using artificial intelligence. For now only in the UK and Australia. It will definitely land in Brazil soon. And soon other streaming services will have similar or better services: Google Music, Deezer, Apple. You can check out exactly how this works on Spotify’s website.
Does it have to be beautiful? He must. Will we lose something with this? Maybe yes. Will we earn much more? It’s quite likely, especially since the alternative of creating your playlist “manually” will continue to exist.
Will “AI playlists” be as revealing, inspiring and “humane” as current ones? We’ll find out together. “Music brings people together,” Madonna will soon sing in Rio de Janeiro.
