Can AI predict your love life? Here’s how it can help find your perfect match

It’s often romanticised as chance, being in the right place at the right time, meeting the right person or experiencing a meet-cute, rom-com style.

But as Valentine’s Day arrives, is there a way to work the numbers in your favour?

Well, that’s where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in.

As we know, AI is being used for all sorts these days, from out-of-this-world applications to help find extra-terrestrial life, to creating digital toddlers and mimicking the voice of politicians.

But is it as effective in helping us find love?

Well, that depends on what you’re looking for.

Dr Igor Khalatian, founder and CEO of Iris Dating, says his app helps users find their perfect match through a series of simple steps to teach the AI who floats their boat.

‘We build an algorithm just for you by learning your tastes and we predict who you find attractive, and then we show those people to you,’ Dr Khalatian tells Metro.co.uk.

‘We want you to find a real person who also happens to be the person of your dreams.’

The app uses predictive AI, rather than the generative AI which has been making headlines and prompting warnings of extinction.

‘If, for example, Spotify was using generative AI, it would just generate music and we will just listen to that music,’ says Dr Khalatian.

‘But Spotify is using predictive AI so it actually learns your taste, and plays the music you like.’

However, generative AI could have a place in dating too, if you’re looking to farm out the awkward chat.

Dating app Teaser AI, from the team behind Dispo, promises to use a form of generative AI to eliminate ghosting and get rid of small talk.

‘Dating apps today have endless small talk’, writes the team on the App Store. ‘We don’t want a penpal. We want to meet up and go on dates.
