Check understanding
- Explain how YouTube or Netflix decides what to suggest next
- Describe what a 'filter bubble' is (only seeing things similar to what you already like)
- Give one benefit and one risk of recommendation systems
“Does your child understand why YouTube keeps suggesting similar videos to ones they've watched, and could they explain how the recommendation system works?”
