Abstract: Since the success of Amazon and with the development of big data movement, recommendation agents know a significant distribution to e-merkants. From the point of view of economic sociology, these agents are interesting insofar as they constitute a relatively new form of merchant prescribers. Therefore, in order to better understand the role that these artificial intelligences play between supply and demand, we propose in this paper to deal with the following question: what are the prescribing logics of digital recommendation agents and how have they evolved in the time?
