YouTube Music is testing AI hosts that provide trivia and commentary, as announced on their website. This new feature aims to enhance the listening experience by offering relevant stories, fan trivia, and commentary about the music being played.

The AI hosts are part of YouTube Labs, a new initiative dedicated to exploring AI's potential on the platform. This initiative allows a limited number of U.S.-based participants to test early prototypes and provide feedback. YouTube Labs is open to all users, not just Premium members, although access to the experimental program is limited.

This move follows YouTube Music's previous AI experiments, such as the AI conversational radio feature launched in July, which allows users to create custom radio stations. The AI hosts are currently being tested through YouTube Labs, which is similar to Google Labs, where users can test early-stage AI products.
