Section 1
The big idea
Netflix's recommendations are personalized by AI. Watch lots of cartoons? AI shows more cartoons. Watch documentaries? AI shows more of those. Even the artwork on shows is sometimes different per person.
Some examples
- AI tracks every show you watch and how long.
- AI tracks what you skip vs finish.
- AI shows different artwork on the same show to different viewers.
- AI even predicts what you will like before you know it.
