Even if invisible, she is among us. Artificial intelligence, commonly linked to humanoid robots that are capable of talking and performing everyday tasks, is increasingly present in business, albeit in a completely different way than imagined: in the form of algorithms.

It is from them – and from the crossing of an infinity of data – that the largest online retailers and streaming platforms in the world are able, for example, to recommend personalized and specific products and content for each of their millions of customers, every one of them. days.
