What is "smartly comparing lists"? To describe further (as I'm an ex-Spotify employee I have some outdated insight into how it works):
Spotify has historically used machine learning to tweak a predictive engine that can convert a track or artist into an N-dimensional value and then use the distance to other tracks/artists in this N-dimensional space.
Is that AI? Maybe. How does the brain work? Maybe when you see a dog it's converted into an N-dimensional space where cats are pretty close, at least much closer than turtles. So if that is human intelligence, is Spotify's recommendation engine not artificial intelligence?
- veli_joza 8y agoThanks for the insight, very interesting! I'm working on project that uses distances in N-dimensional space for determining appropriate human response and face expression; I was also wandering if this falls under AI umbrella.
