The narrowed view that results when recommendation algorithms mainly show you content similar to what you already like, limiting your exposure to different ideas, tastes, or perspectives.

AI that produces new text, images, audio, or code by learning patterns from vast training data. It is a powerful form of narrow AI, not a general intelligence, despite how capable it can seem.

An algorithm that predicts what a user is likely to want and ranks items to suggest, based on their past behaviour and that of similar users.

Online platforms built around user-generated content and connection, letting people create profiles, share posts, and interact in many-to-many networks rather than receiving content from a single source.

Delivering audio or video over the internet so it plays in real time without being downloaded and kept. It shifts culture from owning copies of media to paying for access to it.

Media that is generated or heavily altered by artificial intelligence rather than captured from the real world, including AI-written text, images, audio, and video.

Media created and shared by ordinary users rather than professional producers, such as posts, reviews, videos, and comments uploaded to platforms.
