Radio broadcaster Antenne Deutschland has launched Germany’s first nationwide radio station powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
An artificial voice called kAI acts as the host, guiding listeners through the pop and dance hits of the past 10 years and also informing them about AI technology, use cases, benefits and limitations.
Absolut Radio AI can be received via the Absolut Radio app, on all major streaming portals and directly on the web.
“Absolut Radio AI is a significant step for the entire German radio landscape. The future of radio is now being redefined, opening up new possibilities and variations in our programming,” said Mirko Drenger, CEO of Antenne Deutschland. “And to say it right away, no one has to worry about their jobs with us. Jobs will not be lost, but they will change significantly. AI won’t make us redundant, it will make us more efficient and smarter.”
German service provider Radio.Cloud created the AI radio station for Antenne Deutschland. The broadcaster, a joint venture between Media Broadcast and Absolut, wants to continuously expand the channel’s programme content and technical features.
