Close, it's machine learning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning When you see recommendations on various sites, that's just one example of ML in action. ML is all over now and it's used by all of the big (and small) companies for all kinds of things.. from tracking you across the web (Google) to tracking your likes and recommending you friends (FB) and people to follow (twitter).
