Background of the Study
The digital media and entertainment industry has experienced significant growth due to the proliferation of internet access and the rise of on-demand streaming platforms. According to Oladipo and Sulaimon (2024), online streaming services are increasingly adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance user experience and engagement. AI-powered recommendation engines, which analyze users' viewing history and preferences, are central to this transformation. These systems enable platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify to suggest content tailored to individual tastes, increasing user satisfaction and engagement.
For digital media platforms in Katsina State, the integration of AI in recommendation engines could offer substantial advantages, particularly in a market where personalized content delivery is still in the nascent stages. AI can assist in retaining users by ensuring they have access to content that aligns with their preferences and viewing patterns. However, despite the potential benefits, the adoption of AI-powered recommendation systems in Katsina State's digital media platforms is still underexplored. This study aims to assess how AI-powered recommendation engines impact user engagement and business performance in these platforms.
Statement of the Problem
While AI-driven recommendation engines have been widely implemented in global streaming services, many digital media platforms in Katsina State have yet to adopt these technologies. As a result, these platforms often struggle to personalize user experiences and enhance customer retention. Without personalized content suggestions, platforms may lose users to competitors with more advanced, user-focused recommendation systems. According to Yahaya and Bukar (2024), the lack of AI integration could limit the growth and profitability of digital media platforms in Katsina State.
This study seeks to evaluate the impact of AI-powered recommendation engines on customer engagement, retention, and business performance in digital media platforms in Katsina State.
