Voice over IPhone will play the role of puppeteer

Cognitive applications are increasingly using artificial intelligence techniques to analyze conversations and provide users with goals or origins at the earliest opportunity, or to help them find a partner similar to their favorite actor. For its part, Shander Rad, founder of Tinder, explained that artificial intelligence "" In the coming years, Siri (voice assistance service for iPhone phones) should play the role of puppeteer.

Until recently, smart phone applications, the most famous of which were Tinder, which allowed users to view images of their partners, allowed them to choose the right people.

But to avoid lengthy unnecessary research, the sector turned to artificial intelligence and applications based on this technology have attracted a lot of attention at the recent Internet summit held in Lisbon.

The e-Harmony website has announced that, thanks to artificial intelligence, it will soon be able to encourage users to present their interlocutors after a certain number of messages.

Grant Langston, CEO of eHarmony, said, "There are a lot of conversations in dating apps, but the dates shown are generally few."

Stress relief

It plans to apply the British "love filters" for knowledge purposes, to analyze conversations between users to determine their compatibility and to propose timely meetings.

Daigo Smith, one of the founders of the application, said: "They will receive an alert telling them that you are very harmonious, why not start going out together?"

Love Filters offers mid-way meetings between user hosting and the Four Square app, which helps smart phone users find nearby restaurants or cafes.

"It relieves the pressure of organizing the first meeting," Smith said.

Sean Turn, founder of Tinder, says artificial intelligence "will produce better experiences," and that Siri, a voice-aid service on iPhone phones, should play the role of puppeteer.

Sound control

A new application called AEM, which works only by voice command, is currently being tested by 1,000 users in Denver, Colorado, and will be available in the US next year.

When the user opens the application, his voice asks for his personal preferences, his hobbies and his destinations.

The application then suggests users who could be in tune with them. Once the user has selected his potential partner, the voice assistant displays what he knows about that person.

After a few days, the audio used helps you organize a call and gives you advice on how to conduct your first meeting.

Kevin Timman, the developer of this app, said: "He will say, for example, that according to his tastes, this is a somewhat traditional person.I suggest you to meet and enjoy dinner. "

After the meeting, the application asks both people to evaluate the appointment, then to propose a second meeting or follow-up.

Challenge the effectiveness

BADU, a London-based knowledge app, uses artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology to help users find partners who resemble their favorite star or their former lover.

The user places a photo of the person who is looking for a partner similar to this one, and then searches the application among the 400 million users of "Badu" in the world.

However, the use of artificial intelligence in the field of dating applications does not convince everyone.

"Artificial intelligence is ubiquitous, it helps you sell and buy stocks, keep order activities and even find a partner for life, but for now, I 'm". have some doubts about its effectiveness, "said Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, at the opening of the Summit on the Internet. It. "

"I am very happy because I chose the other half by traditional methods," said Guterich, a former Portuguese prime minister married to a councilor in the Lisbon municipality.
