The future of dating your favorite avatar is just around the corner

AI is advancing rapidly and is being put to practical use in various applications such as

the development of new drugs and facial expression recognition of pets . Such AI is also used to increase the matching success rate in dating apps, and in the near future it will become common to date 'compatible avatars' created by AI, and cyber security at Griffith University David Tuffrey , a senior instructor at Griffith University, predicts.

The movie ' her / One Girl in the World ' released in 2013 won the Academy Award for Screenplay for the story of human beings falling in love with AI. 'The love affair between humans and AI is not an event in fiction, it will become a reality in the near future,' said Tuffrey.

It is said that the dating app has already provided various AIs that are useful for matching couples. For example, the dating app ' Match.com ' is equipped with an AI chatbot named 'Lara' that presents appropriate information for successful matching based on each user's information. Will do it. Similarly, the dating app 'baboo' is equipped with a function that allows AI to suggest users with similar faces by uploading their favorite face photo. In addition, in ' eHarmony ', AI analyzes chats between users and suggests 'next move'.

The advantage of using these AIs is that 'users are aware of their potential preferences,' Flutter points out. Since humans are not good at accurately recognizing their own emotions and preferences, they may unknowingly give inaccurate answers to aptitude diagnosis by matching sites. However, AI can identify a person who is compatible with the user from a huge amount of information such as 'user profile', 'chat content', and 'SNS posts'.

In addition, since services for dating virtual partners using virtual technologies such as

VR and AR have already been provided, it will be possible to date 'compatible avatars' determined by AI in the future. That's what Flutter says.

Furthermore, not only in virtual space, but also in the real world, sex robots that operate in the real world are being put into practical use, and Mr. Flutter predicts that it will be possible for sex robots to play 'people who are compatible'.

However, the spread of sex robots still has problems in terms of safety, law, ethics, and so on. 'Human beings have learned how to discover and handle fire safely, and likewise need to learn how to use new technologies correctly,' Flutter concludes.
