How should you build the recommendation system for the first version of the product?

You work for a company that is developing a new video streaming platform. You have been asked to create a recommendation system that will suggest the next video for a user to watch. After a review by an AI Ethics team, you are approved to start development. Each video asset in your company’s catalog has useful metadata (e.g., content type, release date, country), but you do not have any historical user event data.

How should you build the recommendation system for the first version of the product?
A . Launch the product without machine learning. Present videos to users alphabetically, and start collecting user event data so you can develop a recommender model in the future.
B. Launch the product without machine learning. Use simple heuristics based on content metadata to recommend similar videos to users, and start collecting user event data so you can develop a recommender model in the future.
C. Launch the product with machine learning. Use a publicly available dataset such as MovieLens to train a model using the Recommendations AI, and then apply this trained model to your data.
D. Launch the product with machine learning. Generate embeddings for each video by training an autoencoder on the content metadata using TensorFlow. Cluster content based on the similarity of these embeddings, and then recommend videos from the same cluster.
