YouTube Music is testing AI music hosts that provide relevant stories, fan trivia, and commentary about what you\u2019re listening to, the company announced<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n The move comes two years after Spotify launched an AI DJ<\/a> that delivers a curated selection of music alongside AI-powered spoken commentary about the tracks and artists you like. <\/p>\n YouTube Music\u2019s new feature builds on its ongoing experiments with conversational AI. In July, the service rolled out an AI conversational radio feature<\/a> that lets users create a custom radio station by describing what they want to hear.<\/p>\n YouTube Music\u2019s new AI hosts are currently being tested through YouTube Labs, the platform\u2019s new hub for AI experiments. In a blog post<\/a>, the company said YouTube Labs is \u201ca new initiative dedicated to exploring the potential of AI on YouTube.\u201d<\/p>\n YouTube Labs is similar to Google Labs, Google\u2019s experimental arm that lets users test early-stage AI products and provide feedback. <\/p>\n YouTube Labs is open to all YouTube users, which means they don\u2019t need a Premium membership to sign up. However, the company notes that only a limited number of U.S.-based participants\u00a0will be given access to the experimental program.<\/p>\n YouTube Labs has been implementing AI features across YouTube recently.<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSan Francisco<\/span> Earlier this month, the company released a series of AI features for creators<\/a>, including GenAI tools for Shorts creation. A few months ago, YouTube launched an AI-powered search results carousel<\/a> similar to Google\u2019s AI Overviews and expanded access to its conversational AI tool to help users find more information, receive content recommendations, and get video summaries.<\/p>\n While YouTube is embracing AI features, it\u2019s also cracking down on AI slop. The platform recently updated its policies<\/a> to crack down on creators\u2019 ability to generate revenue from \u201cinauthentic\u201d content, including mass-produced videos and other types of repetitive content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
