Dating and Intimacy in the Age of AI

Dating Apps overwhelming serve young people — A generation who has grown up on the internet, whose very lives are dictated by tech, whose still navigating a post-pandemic period of isolation, and whose mere desire for a relationship is ‘cringe.’ How do you meet this audience where they are? For Hinge CEO Jackie Jantos, the answer comes down to empathy and understanding this cultural moment. In this conversation, Laurie Segall and Jackie Jantos talk about what AI can and cannot do when it comes to pairing two humans, how the app incorporates inclusion, and how to productize intimacy. Jackie also answers your questions about profiles, swipe-fatigue, and dating after divorce. Find out more about the Hinge event, Heads Up, and Jackie’s reflections on our ‘closeness crisis.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
