'''Algorithmic curation''' is the [[wikt:curation|curation]] (organizing and maintaining a collection) of [[online media]] using computer [[algorithm]]s. Examples include search engine algorithms and [[social media]] algorithms.<ref name=oxac/> Examples include the [[Twitter feed algorithm]], [[Facebook]]'s [[algorithmic feed]]s and the [[Google search algorithm]].▼

Curation algorithms are typically proprietary or "[[black box]]" algorithms, leading to concern about invisible[[algorithmic bias in their choices]] and the creation of [[filter bubble]]s.<ref name=oxac>{{Cite web |title=New exhibit highlights differences between algorithmic and human curation {{!}} University of Oxford |url=https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2022-12-08-new-exhibit-highlights-differences-between-algorithmic-and-human-curation |access-date=2023-03-07 |website=www.ox.ac.uk |date=December 8, 2022 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |lastlast1=Berman |firstfirst1=Ron |last2=Katona |first2=Zsolt |date=September 2016 |title=The Impact of Curation Algorithms on Social Network Content Quality and Structure |url=https://ideas.repec.org//p/net/wpaper/1608.html |journal=Working Papers |language=en}}</ref>
The usage of Algorithm curation has been increasing immensely, Social Media Platforms in 2023 have introduced various new updates into use of Algorithm curation. Mark Zuckerberg announced during an earnings call that usage of [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]-powered Algorithmic curation will be doubled.
And platforms like LinkedIn & Tiktok are also experimenting with Algorithmic curation. This form of curation has changed how creators & businesses can escape [https://jaskaransaini.com/how-social-media-algorithms-work/ social media algorithms] to reach consumers. An average social media user is more likely to see only highly relevant content. But that relevency becomes dangerous as if someone is only seeing biased content on their social media feed. Algorithmic curation betters your average social media experience, yet you need to be aware of what you’re seeing and why.
