Can AI Help Us Find Love? With Rori Sassoon & Ryan Matzner

Can we use AI to help us find love? And at what point does this become creepy? We're always talking about trust and transparency related to AI, but what about trust and transparency with humans and dating? In this episode of thinkPod, we are joined by Rori Sassoon (co-founder of Platinum Poire and author of The Art of the Date) and Ryan Matzner (founder of Fueled). We discuss and debate whether AI is an effective and efficient matchmaker, how AI may be able to know us better than we do, the amount of data a dating platform needs, and the prospect of using visual recognition technology to find a match that looks like your favorite celebrity.

Rori Sassoon co-founded Platinum Poire, a VIP invite-only power player matchmaking service that aims to create lasting relationships for elite singles looking for a secure and discreet way to meet others of equal caliber. Rori has become an expert resource on relationships and has given valuable advice within numerous publications such as The New YorkTimes, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Refinery29, People, InStyle, Bustle, Bravo, INSIDER, Elite Daily, and more. She appears on Season 10 and Season 11 of Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York, along with appearances on FOX’s Good Day New York, ABC, and WPIX. She is the author of the newly released book The Art of the Date on Amazon in which Rori advises the reader to "stop swiping."

As Fueled’s (www.fueled.com) executive mover and shaker, Ryan Matzner leverages his digital marketing background, entrepreneurial tendencies, and acute eye for design to support a wide range of internal initiatives and client projects. Ryan built Fueled’s product, marketing, and business development teams from the ground up and continues to nurture them today. When he’s not captaining Fueled into the future of mobile, Ryan can be found dabbling in drone photography, fashion design, and providing The New York Times with ultra-niche commentary on the finer points of wood-burning fireplaces, fighting corporate waste, and adverse weather.
