AI, specifically machine learning, is being used in music composition “to generate new music fragments or ideas, which are then combined into a complete piece of music by a human composer” ( Konieczka, 2023). The music industry is beginning to see a full-circle production distribution process that is spearheaded through AI. There are numerous implicit ways in which Spotify’s extensive use of AI has streamlined its functionality. Overall, these three particular uses of AI allow Spotify to be the most technologically efficient, advanced, and personalized music streaming service which furthers its market share and allows them to be the most user-friendly streaming platform. Since natural language search is capable of comprehending semantic matches between phrases and words, searches don’t have to be as specific to produce accurate results. This eliminates the need for users to search specific titles/terms in order to find accurate results and instead allows users to type in keywords that match the desired search item. These playlists range from circulating their most listened-to songs to resurfacing some old favorites and pushing new music from smaller artists with similar sounds to their favorite songs.įinally, Spotify has used AI and natural language processing to cultivate a natural language search technique for users. Similarly, Spotify is using AI to curate and design playlists for listeners. This includes evaluating both historic and current listening behaviors (including songs skipped, songs played all the way through, songs played most often, and so on) to craft new recommendations to listeners, helping them find new music. Spotify specifically uses reinforcement learning which advances past typical machine learning to use “environmental signals to optimize toward a long-term reward” ( Kaput, 2019). This is showcased by Spotify’s personalized recommendations that are located for each user on the home screen. Before developing DJ, Spotify used AI and machine learning to analyze consumer listening behavior and pinpoint pattern recognition. Spotify’s Vice President of Engineering stated that “machine learning is at the heart of everything we do at Spotify,” and it is evident that their position as the largest music streaming service globally has been catalyzed by their adoption of AI technology ( Kaput, 2019).
