The GenAI Revolution Reaches RecSys

LEVEL: IntermediateLANGUAGE: English

When we talk about the generative AI revolution, the conversation usually stays close to chatbots, image generation, and code assistants. But the same architectures that powered that wave (transformers, autoregressive modeling, scaling laws) are quietly reshaping fields most people don't associate with GenAI at all. Recommender systems are one of the most interesting examples. Meta, Netflix, Google, Spotify and others are replacing decades-old recsys pipelines with transformer-based foundation models, and the results are hard to ignore. This talk is a practical tour of that shift from a Python engineer's seat.
