"Users of the dating app, as well as other major platforms such as video calling service Zoom, will be able to scan their irises to earn a 'proof of humanity' badge attached to their profile or name."
"Fake profiles on Tinder, often referred to as 'bots', are typically used to scam people out of money or their personal information."
"Brooks estimated 30% of Tinder profiles she'd encountered were 'AI-enhanced, emotionally manipulative, algorithmically-optimized romance scammers'."
"Romance scams saw people in the US lose more than $1bn last year, according to the Federal Trade Commission."
Tinder will introduce advanced eye-scanning technology to help users prove their humanity amid rising AI concerns. Users can scan their irises via an app or a device to earn a 'proof of humanity' badge. This initiative, in collaboration with World, aims to combat the increasing prevalence of fake accounts and scams on the platform. Reports indicate that a significant percentage of Tinder profiles may be bots, leading to substantial financial losses for users. The new verification method will complement existing measures like video selfies for user authenticity.
