Innovation today isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about predicting where technology will be. Gustav Söderström, Co-President, CPO & CTO at Spotify, did just that with Spotify’s AI DJ, a feature that will build a playlist based on your music taste. His team began developing it more than a year in advance, confident that voice models and LLMs would soon reach near-human quality. That early investment paid off, allowing them to launch AI DJ just as AI entered the mainstream. Catch the full conversation between Gustav and Lightspeed Partner Michael Mignano on this rerun episode of the Generative Now Podcast to learn more: Watch the full episode here: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3MEmIvs Apple: https://apple.co/3AY5cQi YouTube: https://bit.ly/4d2xc2q
