Tinder Launches Crackdown Against AI Scams, Dating Crimes; New ID Checks Require Passport, Video

[ad_1]  Tinder is expanding its identity verification program at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) can make it hard to tell who's real and crime is rising on dating apps. Tinder, the world's most popular dating platform, is rolling out the system in the US, the UK, Brazil and Mexico over the coming weeks and months.

Inspired by online dating, AI tool for adoption matchmaking falls short for vulnerable foster kids

Most bear the scars of trauma from being hauled between foster homes, torn from siblings or sexually and physically abused.Child protective services agencies have wrestled for decades with how to find lasting homes for such vulnerable children and teens –- a challenge so enormous that social workers can never guarantee a perfect fit.

Australia Demands Dating Apps Boost Safety Amid Sexual Violence

[ad_1] (Bloomberg) -- Australia's government demanded online dating firms boost safety practices by mid-next year or face regulation, after research showed a spate of sexual violence against users of such platforms.The government called Monday for a voluntary code from the industry that included commitments for better engagement with law enforcement, supporting at-risk users, stronger safety policies and greater transparency about harm. The move comes after Australian Institute of Criminology research, released in October last year, found three-in-four people using dating apps or websites experienced some form of sexual violence in the five years to 2021. This included sexual harassment, abusive or threatening language, image-based sexual abuse and stalking. “Dating apps are now the mos...

Bumble CEO Predicts AI Dating Coach Will Teach You How to Flirt

[ad_1] There are many predictions about our AI future that veer into Black Mirror territory, but perhaps the most unsettling is how artificial intelligence could change the nature of relationships. Will we fall in love with our computers? Will children prefer their AI tutors to human ones?Whatever happens, people will probably still seek the company of other people. And technology might be able to help. For one, AI could make singles better at courtship, according to Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and chief executive officer of one of the most popular dating apps, Bumble Inc. “The average US single adult doesn't date because they don't know how to flirt, or they're scared they don't know how,” Wolfe Herd said on this week's episode of The Circuit With Emily Chang. “What if you could le...

Germany hunts for cyber criminals amid billion-euro scams

Now, an AI tool to write your dating profile
