Abstract-Netflix has become a household name in the entertainment industry due to its innovative use of data science and artificial intelligence (AI) in its business strategy. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of how Netflix has leveraged data science to gain a competitive edge in the industry. The paper explores how Netflix uses personalized recommendations to enhance the user experience. Netflix’s recommendation system is powered by a collaborative filtering algorithm that analyses user data, such as viewing history and ratings, to suggest content that is likely to be of interest to the user. The recommendation system is continuously improved through machine learning algorithms, which learn from user behaviour and preferences to provide more accurate recommendations. The paper also discusses how Netflix uses streaming optimization to deliver high-quality video content to its users. Netflix’s AI-powered encoding system analyses each video and optimizes the encoding process to reduce file size without compromising video quality. This enables Netflix to deliver high-quality video content with minimal buffering time, even in areas with slow internet connectivity.Another aspect of Netflix’s success is its production of original content. Netflix uses data science to identify gaps in the market and understand audience preferences, enabling it to produce highly engaging original content. The company uses machine learning algorithms to analyse viewer data and identify trends and patterns that inform its content creation strategy.However, implementing data science in the entertainment industry comes with its challenges and limitations. Netflix faces issues such as bias in the recommendation system, privacy concerns, and the high cost of producing original content. Nevertheless, Netflix continues to invest in data science and AI to improve its services and stay ahead of its competitors. This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of how Netflix has implemented creative data science and AI in its business strategy to become a leader in the entertainment industry. The paper highlights the importance of personalized recommendations, streaming optimization, and original content production in Netflix’s success. It also emphasizes the challenges and limitations of using data science in the entertainment industry and the need for continuous improvement and innovation.
