Daters warm up to AI involvement

As companies and consumers grow increasingly worried about the encroachment of artificial intelligence, one group of consumers says it’s a match, according to a survey by an online dating app.

Flirtini surveyed over 1,000 dating app users aged 18 to 40 in the U.S. to gather intel on whether they want AI incorporated into the dating process.

Some 69% of online daters said they’re either positive or neutral about having AI tools to help in their dating process, while 67% of respondents said they would seek out AI tools that more accurately help determine a match for them.

A 24/7 chat function with an AI assistant and the ability to help create an attractive profile description were the most attractive AI features rated by respondents.

Surprisingly, most online daters were not concerned about divulging personal information to a potential AI assistant, with 58.4% rating it as a positive or extremely positive feature, provided it enhances their dating experience.
