Dating apps use artificial intelligence to help search for love

The online dating sector is turning to artificial intelligence to help arrange meetings in real life and act as a dating coach.

Forget swiping through endless profiles. Dating apps are using artificial intelligence to suggest where to go on a first date, recommend what to say and even find a partner who looks like your favourite celebrity.

Until recently smartphone dating apps – such as Tinder which lets you see in real time who is available and "swipe" if you wish to meet someone – left it up to users to ask someone out and then make the date go well.
