How to Prepare for More AI in Your Dating Apps
"One big use of AI will be to suss out what kind of person you are and, thus, what to show you. So, with every step you take, every search you make, every heart you break, and every claim you make, AI will be watching you. This could go beyond your dating app usage, depending on what legalese you agreed to when you signed up."
"More and more, AI-centered dating app startups are emerging. At the same time, established dating apps like Hinge, Tinder, Grindr, and Bumble are now pouring tens of millions of dollars into developing and integrating AI into their platforms. Because much of this is driven by reported fatigue with dating apps, like swipe burnout and competition from options such as human matchmakers, expect AI to change the way that dating apps interact with you."
AI is increasingly integrated into dating platforms by startups and established apps such as Hinge, Tinder, Grindr, and Bumble. AI systems will analyze user behavior and may incorporate data from other smartphone or computer activity depending on consent language. Users should treat AI-powered dating apps as boundary-less data collectors and take standard privacy precautions. AI can be programmed to provide flattering, agreeable responses to increase engagement, so AI-generated warmth should not be interpreted as genuine human emotion. AI can also improve matchmaking and personalization, but algorithmic biases and blindspots require vigilance and critical oversight.
