THE SUN - A computer scientist has created a dating app that uses AI, which he claims knows him better than he knows himself. According to founder Igor Khalatian, Iris Dating can find a user's perfect match, but it might not be who you expect. The app was created to predict chemistry between two people and vastly increase the likelihood that swiping will actually lead somewhere. He came up with the project idea after realizing that "primary attraction" is necessary for a successful relationship. He asked users to rate stock images of people so the AI could determine what facial features they liked. The AI has paired people together who were so drawn to one another that issues of religion, race, and politics all fell away. After reading some scientific literature, he stumbled across a theory that people actually have predetermined ideas of what they find attractive which he deemed "primary attraction."
