Tinder's New AI Feature is Urging Creeps to 'Think Twice' Before Sending 'Offensive' Texts

Aiming to make dating on Tinder more safer, the online dating platform is launching a new AI-induced feature called ‘Are You Sure’ that would help to stop harassment before it starts. Tinder said the AYS notification has apparently reduced ‘inappropriate language’ in messages on Tinder by 10 percent in early testing. Prior to this, Tinder had also rolled out a ‘Does this bother you?’ feature for its users which popped up a message displaying the same every time the AI senses what it considers to be harmful or offensive message received by a user. And by giving users an easy way to flag harassing messages, this new tool will help Tinder identify — and take action against — those users who are unwilling to act responsibly,” said Scott Berkowitz, president of RAINN, America’s largest nonprofit anti-sexual assault organization that works with Tinder to help combat sexual assault on its online platforms.
