The dating site is set to roll out a new feature which will see it use AI to match make
Tinder are set to roll out a new feature to help it’s users find love – relying on AI. The dating site is set to use technology which will scour user’s camera rolls to then match them up with their perfect person.
Tinder bosses have said they are introducing an array of ‘major innovations’ including a ‘music mode’ which has been redesigned to offer connections through shared music taste, as well as an ‘astrology mode’ for those who like to get the stars to assist with their dating lives.
As well as these innovative changes, they are also introducing new live events such as ‘video speed dating’, as well as improvements which will make the app ‘safer’ for those who use it such as making people pass verification before using it. Now it has been announced that an AI tool will soon be available for Tinder users which will scan the camera roll on your phone to spot certain patterns.
It will get a gauge of you by assessing your interests, lifestyle and elements of your personality by seeing what photos you take and save, and trying to match people up with others similar.
The move is an option, and not obligatory, so those who want to keep their snaps private still can.
The AI tool will also ask the user an array of specific questions, so that they can receive a daily curated recommendation for a match.
Tinder’s vice president of product management, Hillary Paine, said it has been “invented for millennials.”
She said: “It was ‘built for a generation that was really geared towards convenience.
“We’re hearing more and more from young daters that app fatigue is real, not just in the dating space but generally how much time they’re spending on their phones.
“There’s been this craving from younger daters to get out into the real world and almost more serendipitously meet new people and start dating.
“They’re looking for authenticity and compatibility rather than convenience and volume. A lot of the work that we’re doing is in reaction to this new generation’s ways of dating.”
The Los Angeles-based company is owned by Match Group, which owns a raft of dating platforms including Hinge and OkCupid.
Match Group and Tinder CEO Spencer Rascoff said: “With more than half our users under 30, we’re building alongside a generation that wants dating to feel more authentic, lower-pressure, and worth their time.
“We’re expanding the ways that people get started – from new formats and real-world experiences, to profiles that help show who you really are.
“We’re using AI to surface more relevant connections, and continuing to raise the bar on safety so that people feel confident taking the next step.
“Taken together, these changes mark the most significant evolution of our app in years and make Tinder more trusted, social, intelligent and expressive.”
