More time for connection, less time playing detective

Bumble, the women-first dating app, has announced today its latest steps to tackle scams, spam and fake profiles, with the introduction of the Deception Detector™. The feature uses Artificial Intelligence to assess the authenticity of profiles and connections before members even see them, so single Indians can spend less time playing detective and more time focused on meaningful connections. Within the first two months of the technology’s introduction, Bumble saw reports of spam, scam, and fake accounts reduced by 45%, and of those accounts identified as spam/scam profiles, Bumble Inc.’s testing showed that Deception Detector™ supported in blocking 95% of these accounts automatically. Bumble Inc. was founded with the aim to build equitable relationships and empower women to make the first move, and Deception Detector™ is our latest innovation as part of our ongoing commitment to our community to help ensure that connections made on our apps are genuine. We are being thoughtful about how to best use new models to reduce the anxiety of making connections and support our community, with AI standing as a main area of focus.” The Deception Detector™ is Bumble’s latest step to combat bad behaviour online.
