WHAT IS AI-BASED PERSONALIZATION AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Streaming services have become an ubiquitous part of the entertainment industry, with more and more consumers opting for on-demand access to their favorite TV shows and movies. As the industry has grown, so too has the application of AI and personalization to enhance the user experience.

AI-based personalization uses machine learning algorithms to analyze user data such as viewing history, search queries, ratings and various other attributes in order to generate personalized content recommendations. This data is used by the algorithms to identify patterns and correlations in the user’s behavior and to predict which content is likely to be of interest to each individual viewer. The power of AI lies in the fact that such individualized recommendations can be provided to millions of users and no two users are likely to see the exact same recommendations on a page.
