Spotify plans to scale AI into podcast summaries and audio ads
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek revealed that the streaming giant plans to expand generative AI far beyond its DJ feature. The company is exploring AI tools to summarize podcasts and generate personalized audio ads at scale, allowing advertisers to run thousands of tailored audio spots cheaply. A recently published patent also shows Spotify is developing emotional text-to-speech tech that can whisper, shout, and convey sarcasm.
