Episode 46 - The Audio Internet with Shani Offen
The web was designed for text and images, and all of the interactive elements we use today, and all of the advertising technology backing it up was developed as such. Spotify Machine Learning Engineer Shani Offen asks how we can apply this to audio content like music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
We cover:
- The role of advertising in driving innovation.
- The difficulties of building audio chatbots.
- Brainstorming on interactive sound and voice.
