Subscription video-on-demand platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video have accumulated millions of monthly active users and provide access to a variety of movies, TV shows, and documentaries at the click of a button.

This kind of growth brings with it a lot of opportunities and challenges for video service providers and the unprecedented uptake and consumption of OTT video services and other digital media and entertainment are leading providers to utilize smart data enhancements such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to fully understand their customer base.

A key differentiator in the success of these players is their understanding of their audience and the ability to deliver relevant content. User behaviour analysis and AI/ML-based personalized recommendations play a significant role here.
