YouTube's new AI experiment adds AI hosts to your music
"YouTube is adding AI hosts to radio and mixes in the YouTube Music app as part of a new test available through its new Labs program. The hosts are designed to "deepen your listening experience by sharing relevant stories, fan trivia, and fun commentary about your favorite music," YouTube says in a blog post."
"If you want to see if you're eligible to join YouTube Labs, which is dedicated to AI-focused experiments on the platform, to potentially try the feature out, check YouTube's website; through the program, "a limited number of US-based participants can test early prototypes and experiments," according the blog post. Even though I joined YouTube Labs, I don't seem to have access to the experiment myself. I've been playing YouTube Music off my phone for a little while writing this article, and I haven't heard the hosts just yet."
YouTube is testing AI hosts inside the YouTube Music app to enrich radio and mix listening with stories, fan trivia, and commentary. The test is available through YouTube Labs, a program for AI-focused experiments that accepts a limited number of US-based participants for early prototypes. Eligibility requires checking YouTube's website and does not guarantee access even after joining Labs. Google is expanding related AI features across products and positioning this test alongside broader Labs initiatives. YouTube also expanded some Premium-only features to more platforms, including the AI-powered "jump ahead" feature on TV and consoles.
