MatchGroup, the company that owns Tinder, released a public statement about how this new change will impact the company and its users going ahead.
According to MatchGroup CEO Bernard Kim, AI will assist users with not just putting together more attractive profiles, but also communicating their personalities to others in a more effective manner.
So far, the technology that allows AI to pick out users’ photos is still undergoing testing. However, once it’s put into effect, Tinder is also expected to consider other ways to put AI to work on the platform.
Some additional responsibilities that AI could take up on Tinder include writing the bios of users based on their individual passions and what they want to achieve from being on the site.
Other dating sites could follow suit
If the collaboration between Tinder and AI renders success, other dating apps (such as Bumble, Hinge, Match, etc.) may feel inclined to also go this route.
So far, Tinder’s 2023 Future of Dating Report reveals that just over one-third of Gen Z folks on the site expressed their willingness to let AI touch up their profiles.
