Tinder Uses AI To Improve User Profiles
Tinder is utilizing artificial intelligence technology to analyze user photos on their profiles to help them select the right photo for the best first impression.
“AI has really inspired our entire company to really think about ways that we can create new experiences, but also solve key dating pain points,” Match Group CEO Bernard Kim said. “People are excited to jump into the Tinder experience, and then in that exact moment after uploading photos of themselves, people can feel uncomfortable and ask, ‘What is the right picture that I’ve taken over the last year to make my dating profile more me?’”
Kim explains that an AI-powered photo selection feature aims to eliminate the struggle of finding pictures and help build a profile that accurately represents users.
“I really think AI can help our users build better profiles in a more efficient way that really do showcase their personalities,” Kim added. Brands are continuing to invest in new technology to provide a more efficient, enjoyable service for their customers, including the dating scene.
Google’s AI Search Garners More Videos, Better Links
Google is always innovating the latest technology into its search engine to provide the quickest, most accurate answers to inquirers. The new AI-based SGE features in Search Labs now can see more multimedia in the summary box at the top of the search results page. Google is also focused on improving user experience, search efficiency and adding more context to the links the tool provides after finding results.
SGE may still be in the “experiment” phase, but it’s very clearly the future of Google Search. “It really gives us a chance to not always be constrained in the way search was working before,” CEO Sundar Pichai said on Alphabet’s most recent earnings call. “It allows us to think outside the box.” He then said that “over time, this will just be how search works.”
Surfacing and contextualizing links is going to be a crucial rubric of success for this new technology. The search tool will now display publish dates next to the three articles in the summary box to, “help you better understand how recent the information is from these web pages.”
