25. Does Spotify want to start listening in on you 24/7?

Send us a text


Spotify was just granted a technology patent that aims to use
recordings of users’ speech and background noise to better figure
out what kinds of music to curate and recommend to
them. 

The technology could also use speech recognition to identify
metadata points such as the user’s emotional state, gender, age,
accent, and even their environment. This thing would even be able
to figure out whether you are alone, or if you are with other
people just based on the audio recording of your current
environment.

Find out what your All Punked Up host Tyler Winters thinks about
letting Spotify listen into his daily activities 24/7.
