Artificial Intelligence (AI) is influencing a wide range of activities we do in our daily lives. While it has already helped students with homework and business professionals with emails, Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd believes the technology can help singles get better at dating.

The top boss echoed these thoughts in an episode of Bloomberg's The Circuit With Emily Chang show. She believes AI will help people shine on dating apps and boost matching. Further, the founder went on to share ideas that chatbots could be leveraged to build confidence among singles to communicate better with people they do not know.

"AI is going to be a huge catalyst to helping people both shine and attract in terms of compatibility and better matching," she said.

Speaking about how chatbots can be a powerful tool to supercharge dating, she said: "The average US single adult doesn't date because they don't know how to flirt, or they're scared they don't know how. What if you could leverage the chatbot to instil confidence, to help someone feel secure before they go and talk to a bunch of people that they don't know yet."

The CEO plans to deploy AI to improve the matching quality of the app and "supercharge fate." Besides helping people find romantic matches, Wolfe Herd aims to help people find platonic friends with another app - BFF. "We are really building something that no one's built before. We're building an entire relationship business," she told Bloomberg.

Speaking on what worries her about the AI-powered dating future, she recommends that things should be engineered within certain guardrails and limitations and steered in the right direction. She spoke about the concerns of people that chatbots will replace humans in the future. "I don't think you will ever replace the need for real love and human connection," replying to the question from the interviewer, she said.
