Dictionary meaning
the automated selection, ranking, and presentation of content to users by software systems based on predictions about their preferences, behaviour, and engagement patterns; algorithmic curation governs what content users see on social media platforms, news aggregators, search engines, and streaming services; while it enables personalisation and efficient navigation of vast content libraries, it also creates filter bubbles that limit exposure to diverse perspectives, amplifies emotionally provocative content that drives engagement, and raises concerns about the delegation of editorial judgment to systems optimised for commercial metrics rather than public interest values
