O gosto algorítmico: A lógica dos sistemas de recomendação automática de música em serviços de streaming.

The article discusses the philosophical foundations and the modus operandi of the streaming services automated music recommendation systems which are becoming increasingly important for music consumption. In the first part of the text, we present the definition of taste according to three different intellectual traditions: philosophy, sociology and neurology. The goal is to stress differences between those approaches and to suggest that the neurological approach assumes prominence among digital technology developers. In the second part, we discuss the main automatic recommendation methods, developed with the support of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Finally, we comment on the possible consequences of the intensive use of AI for music distribution through streaming services, from the communications standpoint, focusing on circulation and consumption.
