Recommendation algorithms
Recommendation is where the role of algorithms is most visible to the public.
The AI industry
The AI industry encompasses both major technology companies that integrate algorithms into existing products and firms focused primarily on developing and deploying specialized AI services, primarily Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative tools.
