“The Algorithmic Self: How AI Is Reshaping Human Identity, Decision-Making, and the Way We See Ourselves”

In 2025, we don’t just use algorithms—they shape how we think, buy, vote, date, and define ourselves. From Spotify to Google to TikTok and ChatGPT, algorithms have become silent co-authors of our preferences, routines, and even beliefs. This story investigates the profound and often subtle ways AI and recommendation systems are influencing personal identity—and what that means for our future.
