Artificial Intelligence in Social Media:

Artificial intelligence in social networks is primarily used as an efficient way to sort through large clusters of user-generated information. The term often used to describe the functions of this kind of AI is "deep learning," which essentially means a high-level knowledge formed by analyzing and establishing patterns in large data sets (ELI5 reddit threads are a great primer into artificial intelligence topics). For social media, this means AI can help with anything from personalized product suggestions based on previous engagements, to image and voice recognition, to deep sentiment analysis. Almost every major player in the social media arena has invested internal resources, or established third-party collaborations with teams focused on artificial intelligence.
